Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Mince garlic and chop herbs.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear for about five minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for one minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add Cream and Cheese: Reduce heat. Slowly stir in heavy cream while scraping up any bits from the pan. Gradually whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Simmer for an additional five minutes to infuse flavors.
- Serve It Up: Plate the chicken and drizzle extra sauce on top. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
