Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F.
- For extra crispiness, let the chicken rest after dredging before searing.
