Creamy Garlic Chicken is a rich and comforting dish featuring tender, pan-seared chicken breasts smothered in a velvety garlic cream sauce. Perfect for an easy yet indulgent weeknight dinner, it pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Stir until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Add butter and stir until melted.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for quicker, more even cooking.For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine before the cream.Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up the sauce.Use half-and-half for a lighter version.Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over low heat.
