Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts
This recipe will leave you with tender chicken soaked in a savory, creamy garlic sauce. It’s a dish that pairs wonderfully with rice or vegetables, making it ideal for a satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Next, pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the Italian seasoning and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. If desired, season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Allow everything to cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. This dish goes well with pasta, rice, or steamed broccoli!
Enjoy your creamy garlic chicken breasts! This recipe not only tastes fantastic but also comes together in no time, making it a perfect choice for a weeknight meal. Happy cooking!
