Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Then, add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
   Tip: For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of butter before serving.

Tips:

• For a richer, creamier sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of butter while the sauce is simmering.
• If you want to make the dish lighter, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
