Instructions

Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
Sprinkle flour over the garlic and stir to combine until lightly golden.
Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and bring to a simmer.
Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese until melted and combined, adjusting seasoning to taste.
If desired, add fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and coat with the creamy sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer longer before adding the chicken back in.
Feel free to add other herbs or spices to match your taste preferences.
Serve with pasta, rice, or vegetables for a complete meal.
