Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

        Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then, reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to combine with the broth.

          Add Cheese: Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes, so the chicken absorbs the flavors of the sauce.

              Serve: Plate the chicken and drizzle with extra creamy sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
