🧄 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional but amazing!)
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken
    Pat chicken dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Sear to Perfection
    Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    Add chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
    Remove and set aside.
  3. Make the Garlic Base
    In the same pan, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (do not burn!).
  4. Create the Cream Sauce
    Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan (this adds flavor!).
    Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add Cheese & Flavor
    Stir in Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and chili flakes.
    Let sauce thicken for 3–4 minutes.
  6. Return Chicken to Pan
    Place chicken back into the sauce.
    Simmer for 5–7 minutes until fully cooked and coated in creamy goodness.
  7. Finish & Serve
    Sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
    Serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

🍽 Cooking Methods & Tips

  • Stovetop Method (Classic) – Best for rich flavor and quick cooking.
  • Oven Finish Method – After searing, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes in the sauce.
  • Air Fryer Option – Cook chicken separately in air fryer, then add to prepared sauce.

💡 Tip: Always use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
