  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley finely chopped (10g)

Equipment

  • 1 Grill Pan or Cast Iron Skillet To achieve charred marks
  • 1 Small saucepan For the garlic cream sauce

Method
 

Cook the Chicken
  1. Pat chicken dry, toss with olive oil, salt, and half the pepper.
  2. Sear in a hot grill pan for 3-5 minutes per side until dark charred marks appear.
Prepare Sauce
  1. Sauté garlic in butter, add heavy cream, and simmer until thick and opaque.

Dry the chicken thoroughly for better charring.
Use high heat to ensure the surface glistens and stays moist.
