Easy creamy garlic parmesan chicken recipe Irresistible garlic chicken

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes for a touch of heat (optional)

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch).
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and coat them in the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Serve hot with your favorite sides.
