🍗 Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s your short and sweet shopping list:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Pro tip: Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded for the richest, creamiest sauce. The pre-bagged stuff can sometimes make your sauce a little grainy (been there, done that).

🔥 How to Make It

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet.

Step 2: Cook each side for 5–7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: In the same skillet (no need to wash — those browned bits are flavor gold), sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in Italian seasoning, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon that creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce over the top. Let it cook another 2–3 minutes so everything soaks in that goodness.

Step 6: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. That’s it — dinner done!

👩‍🍳 Ava’s Kitchen Tip

Don’t panic if your sauce looks thin at first — it thickens beautifully as it cools. If you prefer a richer texture, add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan and stir until it melts in.

And if your kids (or spouse) hover around the stove asking “When’s dinner?” — tell them to grab a fork. This sauce is good enough to eat straight from the pan. (Not that I’d know from experience… okay, maybe just a little.)

🌿 Perfect Pairings

For a full low-carb dinner, try serving this chicken with:

• Low-Carb Zucchini Pizza Boats — all the cheesy, Italian flavor without the carbs.
• Roasted broccoli or asparagus for a crisp, fresh contrast.
• Cauliflower mash (because every great sauce needs something to soak into).

Absolutely! Thighs stay extra juicy and work beautifully here. Just adjust the cooking time slightly since they’re thicker.
