Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

1. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
3. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 4: Combine

1. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
2. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
2. Serve hot, drizzled with the creamy sauce.
