How to Make Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken

This recipe is so simple that anyone can do it! It’s ready in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. A win-win!

1. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, add olive oil, then cook the chicken on medium-high heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side. Cook until no longer pink in the center. Then, remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic, Add Sauce Ingredients: Returning to the same skillet, add the minced garlic and then saute for 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Let it slowly warm up and then slowly whisk in the lemon juice to avoid curdling. Last, add the parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
3. Add Cornstarch Slurry: Add the cornstarch and water to a small bowl, then mix to combine. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat until it thickens. Add the chicken back to the pan and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
