Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken in the hot skillet. Sear each side for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Once done, remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic to the remaining oil and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Create the Sauce: Pour in chicken broth while scraping any bits stuck to the pan. Stir in heavy cream and let simmer gently. Then add Parmesan cheese and dried herbs.
- Combine Everything: Return the seared chicken to the skillet and allow it to bubble together for an additional five minutes.
- Serve It Up: Plate your creamy garlic chicken over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables, drizzling any extra sauce over the top.
