A simple yet luxurious chicken dish with a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce, perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts and the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Best served over pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables. Can substitute heavy cream for half-and-half or coconut cream.
