Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) on both sides.
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant (don’t let it burn).
4. Create the Creamy Sauce:
   • Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine.
   • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Combine and Simmer:
   • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
   • Reduce the heat to low and let everything simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
