## Instructions

7. Remove chicken from pan; set aside and keep covered.
8. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter; let it melt.
9. Stir in the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on the outside. Stir often so you do not burn the garlic.

11. Stir in the heavy cream and add chicken back into the skillet.
12. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and chicken is cooked through.

14. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

## Tips

- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- The texture of the creamy sauce will change once defrosted. To help, stir in more cream while heating up the defrosted chicken.
- If using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cook the thighs for a bit longer; about 7 minutes per side.
