Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Bowl
  • Plate

Method
 

  1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it shimmer.
    1 tablespoon olive oil
  2. While the skillet heats, toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
    2 cloves garlic
  4. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet. Stir it with the garlic, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the cream to a gentle simmer.
    1/2 cup heavy cream
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the creamy garlic herb sauce.
