Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

- Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 3–5 minutes in the sauce.
