🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the same skillet, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer for 2 more minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
