Here’s a simple and delicious Creamy Garlic Chicken recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 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
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and onion powder on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).
- Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the chicken.
- Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Thicken the Sauce:
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, letting the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the creamy garlic sauce over them, and let everything simmer together for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your choice of sides (mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables).
Enjoy your flavorful and comforting creamy garlic chicken!
