Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce thicken, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Bring It All Together

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the cheesy garlic sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot! This dish pairs perfectly with zucchini noodles, cauliflower mash, or a simple side salad for a complete keto meal.
