 Full Recipe:

 Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 8 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup chicken broth

• ¾ cup heavy cream

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.

2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Create the Cream Sauce: Stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet for added flavor. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until smooth.

5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If the sauce is too thin, whisk in a small amount of flour or cornstarch dissolved in water to reach your desired consistency.

6. Combine the Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to meld flavors.

7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.
