Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the Pan
- Add butter and olive oil to a skillet. Heat over medium flame until melted and hot.
Cook the Chicken
- Place chicken breasts in the pan. Cook each side for 5–6 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Onion and Garlic
- In the same pan, add chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add Chicken Broth
- Pour in chicken broth. Stir gently to loosen brown bits from the pan for extra flavor.
Add Cream and Cheese
- Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Add Seasonings
- Mix in Italian seasoning and paprika. Stir well until all flavors blend into the sauce.
Return Chicken to Pan
- Place the cooked chicken back into the pan. Spoon sauce over each piece generously.
Simmer and Thicken
- Simmer for 8–10 minutes over low heat until sauce thickens and chicken is fully cooked.
Serve Hot
- Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Use fresh chicken breasts for the best texture.
- You can replace cream with milk for a lighter version.
- Don’t overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.
- Add mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor.
- Use grated Parmesan only; it melts better in sauce.
