- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sear the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Sauce:

- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add Cream and Seasonings:
- Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce:
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables
Notes
- For added flavor, you can include spinach or sun-dried tomatoes in the sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
