Ingredients
Scale
4 chicken breasts
1 cup heavy cream
4 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
SEAR THE CHICKEN: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5–6 minutes on each side until beautifully golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
CREATE THE SAUCE: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and let it gently sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing it to simmer and thicken into a silky, rich sauce.
COMBINE AND FINISH: Return the chicken to the skillet, coating each piece generously with the creamy garlic sauce. Let everything simmer together for 5 minutes so the flavors fully blend and intensify.
Notes
For extra depth, let the chicken rest before adding back to the sauce.
Use fresh garlic for the most intense aroma.
Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables to soak up the sauce.
