Instructions:

Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. If the chicken is thicker than 1/2 inch, butterfly or pound it down to verify even cooking.

Heat the avocado oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they're tender and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Deglaze the pan by adding the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, and bring it to a light boil.

Add the dry pasta to the pan and cover it. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes.

Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Slice the rested chicken breasts and add them back into the pan with the pasta and sauce. Toss everything together to combine well.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired.

When preparing Garlic Parmesan Chicken, remember that the key to a delicious meal lies in the seasoning and cooking technique. Make certain to allow the chicken to rest after cooking to retain its juices, preventing it from becoming dry.

Additionally, feel free to adjust the quantity of garlic based on your preference for a stronger flavor, and consider experimenting with different proteins like shrimp or salmon for a unique twist. Enjoy your homemade culinary masterpiece!
