Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 tsp Italian seasonings
  • 4 cloves chopped garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breast halves with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Once done, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, toss in the butter and let it melt. Once it’s melted, add the freshly minced garlic and sprinkle in the flour. Let it cook for about a minute.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and let everything simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken up.
  • Pour in the heavy whipping cream and give it a good stir. Let it cook until the sauce starts to thicken up a bit.
  • After removing the skillet from the heat, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted.
  • Add the chicken back into the skillet with its juices, cooking for a couple of minutes to soak up the sauce.
  • Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan, and serve over mashed potatoes with a side of greens.
