Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Cook each side for 6-7 minutes, until they are golden brown. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

- Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to fully incorporate the delightful garlic flavor.
- Gradually mix in the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth and velvety.
- Place the seared chicken back into the skillet. Let it soak in the creamy sauce for about 2-3 minutes.
