Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 3
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and melt the butter.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
Step 7
Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and let them cook together for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, pairing with side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
