250 ml light cream or heavy cream

07 -
50 g parmesan cheese, grated

# Steps:

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Lower heat and add minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in cream, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. Add Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese, mixing until smooth. Stir in chopped spinach (if using) and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

For extra crispiness, coat chicken in a mix of parmesan and panko breadcrumbs.

For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Use fresh parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
