Ingredients
1.5 lbs Chicken Breast, thinly sliced or pounded even
1 cup Heavy Cream
0.75 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
4 cloves Garlic, minced finely
0.5 cup Chicken Broth, no-sugar-added
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt to taste
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly with Italian seasoning and salt on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the pan and sear for five minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
Lower the heat, stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens and emulsifies.
Return the chicken to the pan to coat thoroughly with the sauce and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure you use freshly grated parmesan as pre-grated cheese contains starch that can cause the sauce to clump. Maintain medium-low heat when adding the cream to prevent the sauce from breaking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
