Saturday or “Caturday” as we call it in our house is a good chance to decompress, spend some time with the kitties, do a little prep and get ready for the week ahead with a new keto recipe. We tend to do a meal we are familiar with that is quick and easy so we have more time to do the fun stuff. If you do the same the “Caturday Recipe” series is for you. No videos, no pop ups, no explanation of the mountain we hiked to pick the lettuce… just a plain ole’ fashioned Garlic Butter Chicken recipe.
Garlic Butter Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and coat them with the creamy garlic butter sauce.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
