Description

A warm, comforting dish layered with rich flavors of garlic, fresh basil, and creamy Parmesan cheese, perfect for cozy evenings.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning


Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

Choose fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don’t overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.
