Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add 4 finely chopped garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
  3. Season the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano, then place them in the skillet. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Pour in 200 ml of cream into the skillet, reduce heat to low, and bring to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 100 grams of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Continue cooking the chicken in the sauce for another 3-5 minutes to ensure they are cooked through and have absorbed the flavors.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
