Ingredients

  • 2 tbsps minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup shaved parmesan cheese
  • 6 tbsps salted butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast

Directions

  • Season chicken breasts with sea salt and black pepper on both sides. In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, pan sear the chicken breasts in 4 tablespoons of butter. Sear on both sides until golden brown. About 3 -4 minutes each side. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside (chicken will not be fully cooked at this stage).
  • Using the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add remaining butter and the minced garlic. Brown the garlic and butter for about 2 minutes.
  • Keeping a medium heat add the red onions and sauté the onions until transparent. About 3-4 minutes.
  • De-glaze the pan with the 1 cup of chicken stock. Using a rubber spatula, scrape off and mix any stuck on pieces of chicken and garlic. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low to simmer. Let simmer 2-3 minutes.
  • Add heavy whipping cream and allow to simmer for 10 minutes to allow sauce to thicken. Mix in parmesan cheese, sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add chicken back into the pan. Finish cooking the chicken in the sauce on low. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Serve as is or over low carb noodles and enjoy.
