Creating Creamy Garlic Chicken is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning.
6. Add Cheese: Once the sauce is heated through, add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined.
7. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet and coat them with the creamy sauce. Allow to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
