How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

This dish is perfect over pasta, rice, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up every drop of sauce. I love serving it with a simple green salad or roasted asparagus for a complete meal.

Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months—just thaw overnight and reheat slowly.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove chicken to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 2 more minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of Italian seasoning or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months—just reheat gently on the stovetop.
