Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 150g each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 120ml double cream
- 60ml chicken stock
- 60g grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them brown nicely in the pan. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and half of the dried Italian herbs.
- Sear the Chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. They don’t need to be cooked through at this stage, just nicely browned.
- Sauté the Garlic. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will turn bitter.
- Make the Sauce. Pour in the double cream and chicken stock. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Parmesan and Herbs. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining Italian herbs. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer Chicken in Sauce. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and nestle them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
- Garnish and Serve. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
