Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts The star of the dish, providing a tender and juicy base.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Used for searing the chicken.
- 1 teaspoon salt Essential for seasoning the chicken.
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adds a hint of spice.
- 1 teaspoon paprika Gives the chicken a beautiful color.
- 4 cloves garlic, minced Infuses the dish with rich flavor.
- 1 cup chicken broth Provides depth to the sauce.
- 1 cup heavy cream Makes the sauce creamy.
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Adds a nutty flavor.
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs Enhances the overall taste.
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.
Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs until smooth.
Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and transfer to a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Let chicken rest for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
