⏱️ Total Time: 15 minutes

🍽️ Serves: 2

🔥 Difficulty: Easy

⭐ Rating: 4.9/5


🥘 Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional: ¼ cup grated parmesan, parsley for garnish


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a pan over medium heat.

  3. Sear chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  4. In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Pour in cream, stir, and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.

  6. Add parmesan (optional) and whisk until sauce thickens.

  7. Return chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce.

  8. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.


💡 Tips for Best Flavor

  • Don’t burn the garlic — it turns bitter.

  • Add extra parmesan for a thicker, cheesier sauce.

  • Use chicken thighs if you prefer juicier meat.


🔄 Variations

  • Spicy: Add ½ teaspoon chili flakes.

  • Healthy version: Use half cream + half milk.

  • Low-carb: Serve over cauliflower rice.


🧊 Storage

  • Fridge: 3 days in an airtight container.

  • Reheat: Low heat on the stove to avoid cream separating.


❓ FAQs

Can I use milk instead of cream?
Yes, but the sauce will be thinner. Add 1 teaspoon cornstarch if needed.

Can I make it ahead?
Yes! It reheats well on low heat.
