Preparation

Cooking Chicken

  • Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned (about 6-7 minutes on each side).

  • Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.

Finishing Touches

  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Notes

For a lighter option, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Be careful with salt if using seasoned chicken broth.
