Foodie Fran

Simple meal and dessert recipes that I have collected over the years from different media outlets (and some of my own), have helped me in preparations for my busy family of six. In my thirty something years of family cooking, I have discovered that simplicity works the best in flavour and time management. Being of Italian descent born in Canada, I am fortunate to experience a fusion of delicious cuisine. Hope you enjoy the creations because after all, I consider cooking an art. Buon Appetito!

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Easy, delicious, and quick! This is a must try. Ingredients 4 small-medium chicken breasts or 2 large halved salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 3-4 cloves garlic minced 1 cup light cream or heavy cream 1 tablespoons Italian seasoning or oregano 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated 1 cup spinach chopped (optional) INSTRUCTIONS: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet or pan. Add chicken to the pan and cook for 5-6 minute per side or until the outside is golden and the chicken is cooked through (cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts). Remove chicken from the pan, reduce heat to low-medium, and add garlic; stir for 30 seconds. Add the cream, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Return chicken to the pan and simmer for another minute then turn off heat. Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve with pasta or veggies. Note: Top with more Parmesan cheese if you like.
