- Add garlic and saute until soft and fragrant. Add a little chicken broth to de-glaze the pan, being sure to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Add the remaining broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Cook until simmering and then reduce heat to medium. Stir often until the sauce has thickened.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Return chicken to the pan along with any resting juices on the plate. Cook for 2 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken as it cooks.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and a little extra Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
