To prepare your Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken, follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or 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, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
5. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously to combine with the garlic.
6. Mix in Lemon: Add the lemon juice and zest to the sauce, stirring well. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7. Return the Chicken: Place the chicken back into the skillet, coating it with the creamy lemon sauce. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes for flavors to meld.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.

Through these steps, you’ll achieve a Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken that’s not only delicious but also visually appealing, inviting everyone to the dinner table.
