Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over them. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes.

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving
