Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Tip: For a smoother sauce, grate the cheese yourself rather than using pre-grated.

2 weeks ago Made this last night and it was a hit with the whole family! I substituted coconut milk for the heavy cream and it was still delicious.
