Ingredients
- Chicken fillets – 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- Garlic – 4 cloves, minced

Instructions
- Prepare the fries according to package instructions or bake homemade fries at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken fillets with salt and pepper, then cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute, then add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with fries, drizzling the sauce over the chicken and garnishing with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C).
- Opt for fresh garlic and quality Parmesan for the best flavor.
- Adjust spice levels according to your preference.
- Let the chicken rest before serving for better juiciness.
