Description
A creamy and decadent chicken dish featuring garlic, parmesan, and a rich sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Place them in the skillet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Create the creamy sauce: Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring and allowing it to simmer gently. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, continuing to cook until the sauce becomes thick, about 3-5 minutes.
- Return the chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, allowing the chicken to warm through and absorb the flavors.
- Garnish and serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
You can marinate the chicken ahead of time for deeper flavor. Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
