Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Season chicken pieces and sauté them in olive oil and butter until golden. Add garlic and Parmesan, toss to coat. Prepare the creamy herb sauce separately by making a roux with butter and flour, then whisk in broth, cream, and herbs. Combine chicken with sauce and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking. You can swap basil with thyme or oregano if preferred. Adjust sauce thickness by adding a little more broth if needed.
