Equipment

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Step 4: Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it well with the creamy sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a beautiful finish!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so gently to avoid curdling the cream.
