Creating Creamy Garlic Chicken is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. This adds flavor to your sauce.
6. Add Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
7. Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken back into the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
9. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and, if desired, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
10. Serve: Plate the chicken, drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce, and serve immediately.

By following these steps, you will create a dish that looks and tastes like it came from a fine restaurant!
