A comforting dish featuring chicken breasts simmered in a rich and creamy garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet, cooking until browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes each.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to mix well.
  6. Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes.
  8. Serve over rice or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

You can use boneless or bone-in chicken breasts. For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. Fresh garlic has the best flavor, but you can use garlic powder in a pinch.
