Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

- Lower the heat and add butter to the skillet along with minced garlic; sauté until fragrant.
