Description
A rich and indulgent creamy garlic chicken dish that comes together quickly, ideal for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated if possible)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry, season each side with salt and pepper, and add to the hot skillet. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Gradually stir in grated Parmesan until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before garnishing with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan and avoid high heat when adding dairy to the sauce.
