Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Fillets The star of the show; tender and cooks quickly for easy meal prep.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Essential for that rich, creamy base—don’t skimp!
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated is key for enhancing flavor and thickening the sauce.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Freshly minced adds aromatic depth.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For searing the chicken.
For the Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes or Hot Sauce Adjust based on your heat preference.
For Deglazing
  • ½ cup Chicken Broth or White Wine Adds complementary flavor when deglazing.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove and let rest.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and deglaze with chicken broth or white wine, scraping up browned bits. Once reduced slightly, add butter and minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Lower heat to medium-low, slowly stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet, ensuring it's submerged in the sauce. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until heated through and coated.
