Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Carefully pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to coat it evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and let the cheese melt, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of pasta, rice, or vegetables.
