Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk it into the butter and garlic mixture. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Then add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve over rice, pasta, or with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
