Creating Smothered Chicken Breasts can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Brown Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
5. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6. Stir in Cream: Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Return Chicken: Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
8. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender.
9. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you can create a dish that is not only delicious but also visually appealing.
