Creamy Garlic Chicken with Parmesan is a delicious, comforting dish that combines tender chicken with a rich, creamy garlic sauce and the bold flavor of Parmesan cheese. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prep the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
-
Make the garlic sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add cream and broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then let it cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
-
Add Parmesan: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning (if using). Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
-
Combine chicken with sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is coated in the sauce and heated through.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the creamy garlic chicken with your favorite sides, such as pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
Enjoy your creamy, garlicky, Parmesan-coated chicken!
