Ingredients
Scale
Let’s gather our ingredients and get ready to create something magical. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
If you’re out of heavy cream, a combination of milk and a bit of butter can substitute in a pinch. And if Parmesan isn’t your thing, give Asiago a whirl for a different twist!
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow everything to cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
A little tip from my kitchen chaos: Use a wooden spoon to scrape up those golden bits from the pan—they add depth to the sauce that’s simply irresistible.
