with Italian ChChickeneese Sauce

 Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp olive oil

For the Cheese Sauce:

1 tbsp butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream or milk

1 cup shredded parmesan or mozzarella cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

2. Make the Cheese Sauce:

In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds.

Add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.

3. Combine and Serve:

Return the cooked chicken to the pan, coating it with the cheese sauce.

Serve hot with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
