Cooking Steps
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sear chicken breasts for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. If you'd like a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry here.
- Stir in fresh basil and let everything simmer for another minute.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over each piece and let it cook for 2–3 more minutes until everything is heated through and cheese is bubbly.
- Serve hot, with extra sauce spooned over the top.
