Description

Creamy Garlic Chicken is a rich and flavorful dish made with tender chicken breasts and a creamy garlic sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasonings
  • Salt/Pepper to taste
  • 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 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken broth, bouillon cube, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme in a large measuring cup and set aside.
  2. Combine flour and Parmesan cheese on a plate and measure out remaining ingredients.
  3. Slice the chicken in half lengthwise and pound to ½ inch thick. Pat dry.
  4. Season with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Set aside.
  6. Melt butter in the skillet. Add garlic cloves and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.
  7. Add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until raw flour smell is gone.
  8. Add chicken broth mixture in splashes, stirring continuously.
  9. Stir in cream, bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese.
  10. Add chicken back to the skillet with juices. Spoon sauce on top. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  11. Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.

Notes

  • If using smaller chicken breasts, consider using 3-4 instead of 2 large.
  • Mushrooms make a great addition; sauté them separately and stir them into the sauce at the end.
