Cooking Steps

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and allow it to get hot.
Place the chicken in the skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and add whiskey to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it's coated with the sauce, and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Top with grated Irish cheddar before serving.
