Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

- Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
