Description
This dish features tender chicken in a smooth garlic cream sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, split to make thinner breasts
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic (4–6 cloves)
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Split each chicken breast into two thinner pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). If desired, thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry.
Notes
Pound the chicken thin for even cooking. Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. Simmer sauce slowly; high heat can cause separation.
