A delightful and creamy chicken dish that's quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat half of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the chicken to prevent sticking.
Season the chicken breasts with seasoning salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Tilt the skillet to evenly distribute the butter around the chicken.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scorching.
Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce to thicken.
Add the slurry gradually while stirring to achieve the desired consistency.
Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the chicken with the creamy sauce drizzled over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
