Ingredients

For 4 servings

Season the chicken

Pat the chicken dry, then season with salt, black pepper and chilli flakes so every piece is coated.
Sear until golden

Heat the oil and butter in a wide pan. Cook the chicken until golden on both sides, then lift out and set aside.
Cook the garlic

In the same pan, cook the chopped garlic for 20-30 seconds until fragrant - keep it moving so it does not burn.
Build the cream sauce

Pour in the milk and cream. Stir and simmer gently for about 2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
Finish the flavour

Stir in the cheese (if using), oregano and a pinch more black pepper until smooth and glossy.
Return the chicken

Add the chicken back to the pan. Simmer 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Taste, adjust salt, scatter with parsley and serve hot.
