This Creamy Garlic Butter Parmesan Chicken elevates a simple weeknight dinner into a gourmet experience. The succulent chicken is bathed in a rich, velvety sauce that combines the robust flavors of garlic and Parmesan for a truly irresistible dish.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 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, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
