Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Season chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in the mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
While chicken bakes, place asparagus on the same baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp melted butter, and season with remaining salt. Roast alongside chicken for the last 10 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 6
For the sauce: In the same skillet used for chicken (don't clean it), melt remaining 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 7
Whisk in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add cream cheese and whisk until smooth.
Step 8
Stir in heavy cream and remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Return cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately with roasted asparagus on the side, spooning additional sauce over everything.
