Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Pour in the lemon juice and white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  4. 4

    Thicken the Sauce

    Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, then reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Cook for another minute to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
