Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic powder and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sear the chicken until browned on both sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness, about 8-10 minutes for breasts and 12-15 minutes for thighs.

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a clean plate and cover with foil to keep it warm. Stir the chopped parsley into the sauce and let it infuse for 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and serve it with the creamy sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot, with some crusty bread or mashed potatoes on the side.

For leftover storage, place the cooked chicken and sauce in separate containers. Let the sauce come to room temperature before refrigerating. Reheat by simmering the sauce for a few minutes and pouring it over the chicken. Enjoy the leftovers within 2-3 days.

Storage & Reheating

For most varieties of this recipe, keep leftovers in your fridge within 3-4 days and in a freezer for up to 2 months. To freeze, remove the sauce and chicken from each other, and place them in a separate container. Storage within the fridge follow slightly different rules.]
