**Creamy Garlic Chicken Recipe: Easy Stovetop Chicken Breasts**

Looking for a delicious and easy weeknight dinner that’s sure to impress? This **Creamy Garlic Chicken** recipe is the perfect choice! With tender chicken breasts, a rich and flavorful garlic sauce, and just a few simple ingredients, this stovetop dish will quickly become a family favorite.

### Ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 4 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp butter

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

### Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Chicken* Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. **Sear the Chicken* Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. **Sauté Garlic* In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

4. **Make the Cream Sauce* Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes to thicken. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

5. **Combine Chicken and Sauce* Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy garlic sauce. Let them simmer for another 5 minutes to soak up the flavors.

6. **Serve* Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve the chicken with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.

### Tips for Success:

- **Chicken Breasts* For even cooking, you can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.

- **Garlic* Adjust the garlic based on your taste preferences. More garlic will bring out a stronger flavor.

- **Cream Sauce* If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.

This recipe is a great option for busy nights when you need something fast, yet indulgent. The creamy garlic sauce pairs perfectly with tender chicken breasts, and you can have it ready in under 30 minutes!
