Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
2. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
2. Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the chicken breasts.
3. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown.
4. Flip the chicken and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

1. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
2. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).
3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

1. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them.
2. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes to reheat.
3. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 5: Serve

1. Serve the creamy garlic butter chicken breasts over pasta, rice, or with steamed vegetables.
2. Drizzle extra sauce on top for added flavor.
