Description
Creamy Garlic Chicken is a rich and flavorful dish with tender chicken breasts seared to golden perfection and smothered in a creamy, garlic-infused sauce. This dish is perfect for pairing with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt/Pepper
3 teaspoons Italian seasonings
⅓ cup flour
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 beef bouillon cube or 1 tsp better than bouillon
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon mustard powder
3 tablespoons butter
10 whole garlic cloves
3 tablespoons flour
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Dredge in a flour-Parmesan mixture and tap off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside.
- Melt butter in the same skillet and caramelize the garlic cloves for 6-7 minutes. Add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add chicken broth, beef bouillon, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme. Stir in heavy cream, bring to a boil, then simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce on top. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Add sautéed mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Use smaller chicken breasts (3-4) if preferred.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, or a side salad.
- Substitute the beef bouillon cube with vegetable broth or extra chicken broth for a lighter flavor.
