- Olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup light cream
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
