Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve the chicken chardon hot, with additional sauce spooned over the top.
