Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken."

 

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked pasta or rice (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Season the Chicken: Season each chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.

4. Add Cream and Parmesan: Reduce the heat to medium. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Add grated Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

5. Season the Sauce: Add dried thyme, rosemary, and oregano to the sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper according to your taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

6. Return the Chicken: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to absorb the creamy goodness.

7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken over cooked pasta or rice, spooning extra sauce over each serving.

8. Enjoy: Plate your Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken, and savor the rich and flavorful sauce paired with perfectly cooked chicken. This dish is ideal for a cozy family dinner or a special occasion.

Feel free to customize the recipe by adding vegetables like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. The Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is sure to become a favorite with its luscious sauce and delightful blend of herbs and spices.
