Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the chicken fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. The remnants of the chicken will enhance the garlic flavor.
  3. Pour in heavy cream while scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened to desired consistency.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Allow to simmer together for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Plate chicken with crispy fries or creamy mashed potatoes, drizzle extra sauce, and garnish with parsley.
