Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream and reduce the amount of cheese.
Add sautéed spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
