  3. Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Sauté the minced garlic in the same skillet for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese and avoid overcooking the chicken. Adjust sauce consistency with broth or milk if needed.
