2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions

To a skillet add the avocado oil over medium heat. Allow it to get hot for 2-3 minutes.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Saute for 4 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the juices run clear. You want an internal temperature of 165° F.
Remove the chicken and set aside by placing a lid on top to keep the chicken warm.
Turn the skillet to low to medium heat.
Add the minced garlic. Stir for 1 minute
Add the heavy cream, cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, Better than Bouillon, and the rest of the dried seasonings. Stir until the sauce thickens.
Add the parmesan cheese. Stir until combined.
Add the chicken back into the skillet.
Simmer to allow the chicken to heat through.
Top the chicken with the sauce.
Sprinkle the parsley on top.

Notes

Watch the heat when you cook the garlic. Burning it or overbrowning it can give it a bitter taste.
Avoid overcooking the chicken as it can become dry, even when in the sauce. Use a thermometer for best results!
Keep an eye on the heavy cream once you add it to the skillet. If the heat is too high, it can burn or curdle.
