Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Lemon Chicken with Parmesan Sauce is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Make sure they are evenly coated.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
3. Sauté the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burned. Then, reduce the heat to low.
5. Add Cream and Lemon Juice: Pour in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
6. Incorporate Parmesan: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring. Let it melt into the sauce, creating a creamy texture.
7. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet with the sauce. Allow them to simmer in the creamy sauce for about 2-3 minutes.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
