Season the 1.5 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in 0.5 cup chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
