Ingredients
Scale
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp dried parsley
¼ tsp smoked paprika
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream, honey, dried parsley, and smoked paprika. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the skillet and toss well to coat it in the butter sauce.
Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Serving idea: Serve with mashed potatoes, seasoned rice, green beans, or warm dinner rolls to soak up the buttery garlic sauce.
