Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and ready for cooking.
- Season the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to infuse flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Add Cream and Parmesan: Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently to combine and coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
- Simmer the Sauce: Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop a rich, cheesy consistency that clings to the chicken.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor just before serving.
Notes
- You can use chicken thighs if preferred, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the sauce before simmering.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Make sure not to let the cream boil to avoid curdling.
