📋 Ingredients:

  • 🍗 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 🧄 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 🍋 Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 🧂 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 🥛 1 cup heavy cream

  • 🌿 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

📝 Directions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
