How to make Creamy Garlic Chicken
One Pan Creamy Garlic Chicken is a boldly flavored meal featuring seared chicken cutlets in a rich and creamy sauce of garlic, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. The flavor in this easy meal is amazing, and it’s ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, split to make four thin pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic (about 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:
- Start by butterfly-cutting the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper, enhancing the flavors of the chicken.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces, allowing them to cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Once golden, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté briefly until it becomes fragrant, infusing the chicken with its irresistible aroma.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream and low sodium chicken broth into the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Add the dried parsley, salt, and black pepper, stirring the ingredients together to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee it’s fully cooked and tender.
- Your creamy garlic chicken is now ready to be savored! Serve it over a bed of al dente pasta, fluffy rice, or alongside your favorite steamed vegetables for a wholesome and satisfying meal. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of indulgence.
