Prepare the chicken: If you’re using chicken breasts, tenderize them to an even thickness so they cook evenly. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, set them aside on a plate and keep warm.
Make the creamy sauce: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then sauté the garlic and onion until softened and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
Add the finishing touches: Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce, creating a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, add a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Combine and serve: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet with the sauce. Let the chicken soak up the flavors for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
