Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Fresh garlic
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Unsalted butter
- Heavy cream
- Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick better.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to combine the garlic and cream.
- Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat it well with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional minute to heat through.
- Plate the chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken!
