Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove chicken from the skillet.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add minced garlic; sauté until fragrant.
Whisk in heavy cream and allow it to warm through before adding Parmesan cheese and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
