Instructions

Prepare the chicken

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) for uniform cooking.

Pro tip: Use a meat mallet for even results.

Season the chicken

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Sear the chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Pro tip: Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to get a good sear.

Make the sauce

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Pro tip: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Combine ingredients for sauce

Add heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Finish the sauce

Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Pro tip: Keep stirring to prevent the sauce from sticking.

Combine chicken and sauce

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Ensure chicken is fully coated with sauce for best flavour.

Rest and serve

Remove skillet from heat and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional Parmesan if desired.

Pro tip: Resting helps the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
