Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Vegetables:
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
4 medium tomatoes, halved
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Equipment:
Skillet
Grill pan or outdoor grill
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken.
Grill the Vegetables:
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Brush asparagus and tomato halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill asparagus for about 2-3 minutes per side, until tender-crisp and charred.
Grill tomatoes, cut side down, for about 2 minutes until they begin to char and soften.
Serve:
Plate the creamy garlic chicken and spoon extra sauce over the top. Arrange grilled asparagus and roasted tomatoes around the chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley.
