Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat.

Add the chicken and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set chicken aside on separate plate.

While the chicken is resting, return back to the same skillet and melt remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add garlic and cook stirring frequently, about 1 minute.

Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and seasoning.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Continue to cook the sauce about 5-7 minutes so the sauce becomes thicker.

Once your sauce is to the desired thickness, return the chicken to the skillet.

Place in the oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes.

Remove the dish and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
