Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian herbs (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and simmer gently. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens. Add Italian herbs and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or cornstarch.
