Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated works best)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a blend of thyme, basil, and oregano)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Gently add the chicken breasts, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring it in slowly. Allow it to simmer.
  7. Add grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese has melted and sauce is creamy.
  8. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over the tops. Let them hang out for a few minutes.
  9. Finish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cream. Consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor. To lighten the dish, substitute with Greek yogurt and chicken broth instead of heavy cream.
