Creamy Parmesan Basil Chicken Recipe

Step 1

Cut breasts in half lengthwise, pound to even thickness

Step 2

In a large non stick pan on medium-medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear, 4-5 minutes on each side, until just cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet add 1 tablespoons butter. Add onion, garlic, peppers, paprika, red chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Saute for about five minutes, until onions and peppers are softened.

Step 4

Add wine to deglaze the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer until reduced by half.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium low. Add cream to the skillet and stir until a creamy sauce forms. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add Parmesan, stir until melted into sauce. Stir in basil, simmer until wilted, 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Add chicken back to the skillet,  allow to warm up if needed.  Serve.
