Instructions

Here’s how to create this incredible dish in just a few simple steps:

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

2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

5. Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.

6. Incorporate Lemon: Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice, allowing the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

7. Add Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

8. Mix Herbs: Stir in the fresh parsley, thyme, and basil to add flavor.

9. Return Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, coating it with the creamy sauce.

10. Simmer: Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

11. Serve: Once ready, remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before serving.
