Description
A comforting and rich creamy garlic chicken dish that warms the soul, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning each chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic can change the dish’s flavor profile.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Then, add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken back into the skillet. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes on low heat, allowing the chicken to absorb the creamy garlic flavor while ensuring it remains juicy.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked through, garnish your Creamy Garlic Chicken with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with your choice of pasta or over rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer or add a cornstarch slurry. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
