  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
  3. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, picking up any browned bits for added flavor.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, unsalted butter, and Italian seasoning.
  7. Continue cooking the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Once the sauce is ready, return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy garlic sauce.
  9. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  10. Garnish the Keto Creamy Garlic Chicken with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
