#### Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
1. **Prepare the chicken:** Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. **Sear the chicken:** Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove chicken and set aside.
3. **Make the sauce:** In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
4. **Add liquids:** Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
5. **Finish with cheese:** Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
6. **Combine and serve:** Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides—think buttery mashed potatoes or steamed veggies.
