Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (split to make 4 thin pieces)
- 3/4 cup (177 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) low sodium chicken broth
Seasonings:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Preparation Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil
- 2 tablespoons (6 cloves) freshly minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Delicately butterfly chicken breasts to ensure uniform thickness, then generously season with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
- Heat oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature, carefully place seasoned chicken and sear until achieving a rich golden-brown exterior, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Introduce minced garlic to the skillet, allowing its aromatic essence to permeate the cooking surface for roughly one minute.
- Gently cascade heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, dried parsley, additional salt, and pepper into the skillet, stirring thoroughly to integrate all components.
- Reduce heat and allow the mixture to simmer, watching as the sauce gradually transforms and thickens, while simultaneously ensuring chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooking is complete, plate the succulent chicken alongside your preferred accompaniment – whether that’s al dente pasta, fluffy rice, or a medley of roasted vegetables – creating a harmonious and satisfying culinary experience.
Notes
- Butterfly chicken breasts carefully to ensure uniform thickness and prevent uneven cooking.
- Use high-quality heavy cream for a richer, more luxurious sauce that coats the chicken perfectly.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on personal preference, keeping in mind that fresh garlic provides a more intense flavor than pre-minced varieties.
- For a low-carb version, serve over cauliflower rice or roasted vegetables instead of traditional pasta.
