Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme on both sides.

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).

Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

Add Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.

Return Chicken to the Pan: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the creamy sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken to coat it well. Let it simmer together for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust any seasoning as needed.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

- Presentation Tips: Serve the chicken on a plate with a generous drizzle of the creamy sauce over the top, accompanied by steamed vegetables or a side of rice. A sprinkle of extra Parmesan and a sprig of parsley will enhance the visual appeal.
