Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Crafting the Pesto Cream Sauce:
Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same skillet; sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes aromatic.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Mix in the pesto, grated Parmesan, and red pepper flakes, stirring until the sauce is uniform and slightly thickened.
Finish and Serve:
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, covering them with the sauce.
Allow to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to infuse the chicken with the sauce’s flavors.
Garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
Enjoy this delightful dish with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
