Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

      Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

        Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine, then add the Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, so the flavors meld together.

          Add Cheese: Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

            Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic butter sauce over it. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through.

              Garnish: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately over pasta, rice, or alongside vegetables.
