Ingredients checklist

Numbered instructions

1Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot skillet with olive oil until browned on both sides.
2Lower the heat and cook the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3Pour in the broth, scrape the pan, and simmer for 2 minutes.
4Stir in the cream and parmesan, then return the chicken to the skillet.
5Simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken reaches 165°F. Finish with parsley before serving.

Chef's Tips

Pat the chicken dry before searing so the crust develops quickly.
Keep the cream at a gentle simmer to prevent splitting.
Use freshly grated parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
Add a squeeze of lemon at the end to brighten the richness.

Recipe Variations

Swap chicken thighs for chicken breast and reduce the simmer time slightly.
Add baby spinach in the final minute for a greener skillet dinner.
Serve over mashed cauliflower for a lower-carb plate.
