Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts

    cut in half lengthwise

  • Salt & pepper
    to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3 cloves garlic

    minced

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

    chopped

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner pieces. Season them generously on both sides with salt & pepper and the garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat, and let the pan heat up for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes/side or until it's nicely seared and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely tent it with foil to keep it warm (turn off the heat while doing this step).

  4. 4

    Turn the heat back on to medium-high and sprinkle in the flour and garlic to the skillet (the pan should still be hot, but if it's not, let it warm up a bit first). Let it cook for about a minute or so, stirring often.

  5. 5

    Pour in the chicken broth and whisk it until the flour has dissolved and the liquid has reduced by half.

  6. 6

    Stir in the cream and let it bubble gently for a few minutes until it's thickened to your desired consistency (turn the heat down if it's rapidly boiling). Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the parmesan until it has melted into the sauce.

  7. 7

    Add the chicken back to the skillet (and any juices from the plate) and spoon some sauce over top. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed and sprinkle the parsley over top.

About this Recipe

Craving a comforting, restaurant-quality meal that’s surprisingly simple to master at home? This Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken delivers an incredibly rich, savory experience that will become an instant family favorite.

What makes this Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken shine is the harmonious blend of ingredients that build a robust, velvety sauce. Starting with simple kitchen staples like butter, flour, and generous minced garlic, you'll create a foundation for the luxurious heavy cream and chicken broth, all elevated by the sharp, salty notes of freshly grated parmesan.

Expect tender, savory chicken generously coated in a decadent, aromatic garlic cream sauce. The freshly grated parmesan melts seamlessly into the sauce, adding a complex depth that complements the garlic and a hint of pepper. The vibrant fresh parsley brightens the rich flavors, making each bite an inviting, comforting experience that feels gourmet yet approachable. This dish promises a satisfying meal that’s both elegant and deeply flavorful.

While incredible as is, this Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is quite adaptable. You can swap chicken broth for dry white wine to add a different layer of complexity to the sauce. Don't have fresh parsley on hand? A touch of dried Italian herbs could offer a complementary aromatic twist. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can slightly reduce the amount of minced garlic.

This rich and satisfying Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken makes an elegant centerpiece for a weeknight family dinner or a cozy gathering with friends. Serve it alongside pasta, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad to complete a comforting meal.
