Description
A rich and creamy garlic butter chicken recipe that is easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 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, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the Italian seasoning and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
