Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly.
4. Add the shredded cheese to the cream sauce, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
