Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken can be a smooth process when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Allow the cream to simmer for a couple of minutes.
6. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened.
7. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, coating them thoroughly in the creamy sauce.
8. Simmer Together: Allow the chicken to cook in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s not overcooked.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken before serving for a touch of color.
