Keto Creamy Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried thyme, oregano, basil)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
   • Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
   • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.
   • Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the Keto Creamy Garlic Chicken hot, with additional Parmesan cheese and a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
