👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Sear the chicken

Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Heat oil or butter in a pan.
Add chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides (don’t worry if it’s not fully cooked — it finishes in the sauce).

2. Build the creamy garlic sauce

In the same pan, add the minced garlic.
Cook just until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Stir in chicken broth and scrape the pan to release all the flavor.
Pour in heavy cream and Parmesan, stirring until smooth and creamy.

3. Let it simmer

Add the chicken back in.
Simmer 5–7 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.

4. Serve with love

Top with fresh parsley and serve over:

• Steamed broccoli
• Mashed cauliflower
• Zucchini noodles
• Rice or mashed potatoes (for non-low-carb eaters)
