Chicken Breasts in a Spicy Garlic and Parmesan Sauce

Chicken Breasts in a Spicy Garlic and Parmesan Sauce 

Ingredients:

–  Chicken Breasts – 500 grams
–  Garlic – 4 cloves, chopped
–  Butter – 50 grams
– Cream  – 200 ml
–  Parmesan Cheese – 100 grams, grated
–  Red Pepper Flakes – 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
–  Parsley – to taste, chopped
–  Salt and Pepper – to taste
–  Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

3. Add the cream: Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan and stir well. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the cream to thicken slightly.

4. Stir in the cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes to the sauce. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

5. Mix: Return the chicken breasts to the pan, coating them with the sauce. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.

6. Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Serve with rice, pasta, or a fresh salad to enjoy this delicious dish.

Extra Tips: For an extra kick of flavor, you can marinate the chicken breasts in garlic and herbs before cooking. Also, if you prefer a little more heat, add more red pepper flakes to the sauce. Enjoy!
