Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup your favorite vegetables (like bell peppers or asparagus), optional
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until they are browned and cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice and return the chicken to the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow everything to meld together.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If using veggies, add them in at this stage and let everything warm through for another minute.
  5. Garnish your dish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

To store leftovers, place the skillet in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of cream if needed.
