👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the chicken beautifully

Generously season chicken on both sides with:

• Salt
• Pepper
• Paprika
• Garlic powder

Let rest 10 minutes so the seasoning absorbs well.

2. Sear the chicken to golden perfection

1. Heat olive oil + 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. When sizzling, add the chicken.
3. Sear 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
4. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

This step builds the deep flavor foundation for the creamy sauce.

3. Make the treasured creamy garlic sauce

In the same skillet:

1. Add 1 tbsp butter.
2. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30–40 seconds until fragrant
   (don’t brown it — keep it pale for sweet garlic flavor).
3. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the brown bits from the bottom.
4. Add heavy cream, stirring slowly.
5. Mix in:
   • Parmesan
   • Italian seasoning
   • Paprika (optional)
6. Simmer gently 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

The sauce should look glossy, creamy, and smooth.

4. Bring it all together

Place the chicken back into the pan.

• Spoon creamy garlic sauce over it

If adding mushrooms or spinach, add them now.
