Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add butter to the same skillet. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is creamy.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Serve with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes like cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
For a richer sauce, you can add an extra tablespoon of butter.
Ensure your chicken is cooked through before adding it back to the sauce.
