Prep the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. This simple step elevates the chicken flavor.
Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it. Add chicken broth and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Gradually add in the Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes. This ensures the flavors develop beautifully.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve it hot with your favorite side dishes.
