Ingredients
 

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Season the Chicken:

  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Add Cream and Cheese:

  • Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine Chicken and Sauce:

  • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
