Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  3. Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan, herbs, and red pepper flakes if using, until the cheese melts.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce and simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.

Notes

  1. Ensure chicken is dry before cooking for better browning. Adjust seasoning as needed.
