Description
A comforting and delicious dish featuring succulent chicken breasts in a rich garlic butter and creamy Alfredo sauce.
Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
- Garlic (fresh cloves)
- Butter (unsalted)
- Heavy Cream
- Parmesan Cheese (grated)
- Salt and Pepper
- Italian Seasoning
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preparation: Start by getting everything ready. Chop your garlic (around 4-5 cloves for a punch) and grate the Parmesan cheese if using a block.
- Cook: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Create: Remove the chicken and lower the heat. Add unsalted butter and chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
- Make: Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer and thicken, then gradually whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine: Return chicken to skillet, ensuring it’s coated in the garlic butter and sauce. Simmer for a few minutes.
- Finalize: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with freshly cracked pepper or additional Parmesan.
Notes
For added flavor, consider garnishing with fresh parsley or basil and serving with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
