Instructions
Preparation
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté them gently for 3-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
- Flip the chicken over and pour in the heavy cream. Lower the heat slightly and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Check the chicken for doneness; it should be cooked through with no pink visible. The sauce should be thickened.
- Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve the chicken on a platter, pouring the creamy sauce over the top and garnishing with fresh parsley.
Notes
Allow the chicken to rest after cooking to retain its juiciness. Adjust seasoning based on your taste preferences. Consider adding more vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
