How To Make:

To make this recipe, you will need boneless, skinless chicken breasts, garlic, heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and olive oil. First, season the chicken with salt and pepper, and then sear it in a pan until it is golden brown on both sides. The chicken should then be taken out of the pan and placed aside.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add chicken broth and let it simmer for a few minutes until it has reduced slightly. When the sauce is smooth and creamy, add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and whisk. Finally, add the chicken back to the pan and let it cook in the sauce for a few more minutes until it is cooked through



Tips and Variations:

Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that your chicken is cooked through and safe to eat, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Use bone-in chicken: Bone-in chicken breasts can be used instead of boneless chicken breasts for more flavor and juiciness.

Add vegetables: You can add your favorite vegetables to the dish to make it a one-pot meal. Try adding broccoli, asparagus, or mushrooms to the pan while the chicken is cooking.
Use different cheeses: You can use different types of cheeses, such as Gouda or cheddar, instead of Parmesan cheese for a different flavor.
Add herbs: Add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley to the sauce to add extra flavor.
Make it spicy: If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Substitute cream: You can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream to make the dish lighter.
Serve over pasta: Serve the chicken and sauce over your favorite pasta for a delicious pasta dish.
Make it gluten-free: Substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and use gluten-free flour or cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
Marinate the chicken: Marinate the chicken in the garlic sauce for a few hours or overnight to infuse it with extra flavor.

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On both sides, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a sizable oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once both sides are browned, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes per side. Chicken should be taken out of the skillet and put aside. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and turn the heat down to medium. The garlic should be cooked for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic.
Stir together the heavy cream and chicken broth in the skillet.
The mixture should simmer for two to three minutes.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and well combined.
Add the sauce to the skillet with the chicken breasts still inside.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
The skillet should be taken out of the oven and given some time to cool.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
