Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
-
Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan to the skillet. Stir to combine, ensuring the chicken is coated in the creamy sauce.
-
Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to thicken and coat the chicken in a rich, cheesy sauce.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried oregano, thyme, or basil to the sauce.
-
For texture, sauté some sliced mushrooms with the chicken.
-
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
-
For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of pasta or rice.
-
Upgrade the cheese by mixing in some mozzarella or Gruyère for a cheesier sauce.
