  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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.
