Garlic Parmesan Chicken in a Rich Creamy Sauce is a quick, easy and pairs great with so many side dishes. Tender pan grilled chicken topped with a super creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Make extra sauce to throw over a rice, pasta or vegetable side dish.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Directions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and add grated Parmesan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue to cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and unsalted butter until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the breasts. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
