- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and finely chop the garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds), deglazing with a spatula to scrape up flavorful bits.
- Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth; bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy (2-3 minutes).
- Return chicken to the sauce, allowing it to soak up flavors for another 2-3 minutes on low heat.
