Description

A soul-warming dish with creamy, garlicky goodness that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Chopped Parsley for Garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and placing them within reach. Mince your garlic, chop the parsley, and pat your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over both sides of the chicken breasts. Allow to sit while heating the skillet.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Add the Garlic: Remove chicken and sauté minced garlic in the skillet for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the Cream: Add heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine with garlic-infused oil and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the Parmesan: Gradually whisk in grated parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and blended. Adjust consistency if needed.
  7. Return the Chicken: Nestle chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them and letting them simmer together for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Finish with Parsley: Remove from heat and stir in half of the parsley, reserving the rest for garnish.
  9. Taste and Adjust: Give your creamy garlic chicken a taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

Serve with sautéed veggies or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce. Garlic bread on the side is a must!
