๐ง Ingredients
For the chicken:
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the creamy garlic butter sauce:
-
3 tablespoons butter

5 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
½ cup chicken broth
-
½ cup grated Parmesan
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
Fresh parsley for garnish
๐ฉ๐ณ How to Make It
1. Season & Sear
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the irresistible sauce
Lower heat slightly. Melt butter in the same pan and sautรฉ garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add chicken broth, scraping up the tasty browned bits.
Pour in heavy cream, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
Simmer gently until the sauce thickens beautifully.
3. Bring it all together
Return chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
Simmer 2–3 minutes to let the flavors marry.
4. Serve & savor
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over:
-
pasta
-
mashed potatoes
-
rice
-
roasted vegetables
-
or crusty bread (to mop that sauce!)
