This Creamy Garlic Chicken is an easy one-pan weeknight dinner! It's made with juicy slices of chicken simmered in a rich, flavorful cream sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts ((split to make two thin breasts from each))
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic ((4-6 cloves))
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, split chicken breasts (butterflying them) to make two thinner pieces. Simply place your chicken breasts on a cutting board and place one hand flat on top. Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breast in the middle all the way through.

  3. 3

    Season chicken with salt and pepper and fry on each side until golden (you might need to do two batches if your pan is small), about 3-4 minutes per side. Add the garlic to the pan and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the cream, broth, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook and stir on medium heat until sauce is bubbly and thickened slightly and chicken is cooked through. The best way to tell if it is cooked through is to check with a meat thermometer -- it should be at least 165 degrees F inside.

  5. 5

    The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits. If it's not as thick as you like, stir together ½ teaspoon corn starch and 1 teaspoon water and add to sauce while simmering to thicken further.
