Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 (1 pound altogether) boneless, (skinless chicken breasts)
  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • salt and fresh ground pepper, (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter, (divided)
  • 10 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth , ((or, you can also use white wine))
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • fresh chopped parsley, (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of 1-inch. Generously spray each chicken breast with cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cheese, salt, pepper, Italian Seasoning, basil, parsley, and sweet paprika. Take the seasoning mixture and rub it all over the chicken breasts.
  • Heat olive oil with 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the hot oil and cook for 5 minutes; flip and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until golden brown. Remove chicken from pan; set aside and keep covered.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter; let it melt. Stir in the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on the outside. Stir often so you do not burn the garlic.
  • Add chicken broth or wine to the skillet and let cook for 3 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and add chicken back into the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
