Instructions

Cut your chicken breast in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
To the same skillet add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a simmer and stir through the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
Allow the sauce to thicken and reduce by half, for 3-4 minutes. Return the chicken and nestle it into the sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Don’t have chicken breasts? You can also use chicken breast tenders or boneless, skinless chicken thighs, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Be sure to cook the chicken until golden and done. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the thickness and size of the chicken breast, it will take between 3-5 minutes per side to fully cook.
Don't wipe the pan after cooking the chicken. There will be some bits left in the pan after cooking the chicken breasts. Don't clean that out! It will add savory flavor to the sauce.
To skip a step, you can buy chicken that has been sliced into 4 cutlets.
Heavy Cream: This ingredient is specific to those who want a low carb high-fat diet. A healthier choice could be using half-and-half or even coconut milk. The ones you get from cans and not what you drink.
