- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
