For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Perfect for sautéing the chicken, giving it a beautiful golden color.

Instructions

Cooking Steps

  • Start by warming the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Generously season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side.
  • Carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  • Add the minced garlic to the hot skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  • Slowly stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to combine with the broth.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, letting it bask in that luscious sauce for about 5 minutes.

Notes

To achieve a perfectly golden crust on your chicken, make sure your skillet is hot enough. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure a good sear. Keep an eye on the garlic to prevent burning.
