🍽️ Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Recipe & Cooking Instructions

Alright, my friend, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this recipe. We’re gonna keep it simple, so you don’t feel like you're trying to solve a Rubik's cube while cooking. Trust me, I’ve been there, and it’s messy! 😂

What You’ll Need

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts (or however many you want—who am I to judge? 👀)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (the thick stuff, not that wimpy milk)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the more cheese, the better, right?)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced, because we need that flavor punch!)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste, obviously)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter if you’re feeling fancy)
  • Chopped parsley (for that little pop of colour at the end—we eat with our eyes first, y’know?)

Cooking Instructions

  1. Prep Your Chicken: First things first, you gotta make sure your chicken breasts are kind of even in thickness. You don’t want one side to be a total diva and cook faster than the other, right? So, if they're looking a bit humpy, give them a little flattening.

  2. Season Your Chicken: Rub that salt and pepper all over the chicken like it’s sunscreen before a beach day. Get in there! Show it some love.

  3. Get Cookin’: Heat that olive oil in a big ol’ pan over medium heat. Once it’s hot, toss in the chicken and let it sizzle away for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it's golden brown. You’ll know it’s good when your kitchen starts to smell like heaven! 🙌

  1. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked (we're aiming for that juicy perfection), take it out and set it aside. In the same pan, toss in your minced garlic and let it cook for about a minute. Just don’t burn it! We want it nice and fragrant—not smoky.

  2. Creamy Goodness: Now, pour in that heavy cream like you’re pouring your heart out. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and let it all melt and mix together into a dreamy sauce. Add more salt and pepper if you feel it’s lacking some oomph!

  3. Bring It All Together: Pop the chicken back into the pan and let it soak up all that creamy goodness for a couple of minutes. Feel free to spoon that sauce all over the chicken like you’re giving it a spa day. 😂

  1. Serve It Up: Plate that bad boy, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for a little fancy flair, and you’re ready to go! Pair it with some pasta, rice, or just a big chunk of crispy bread to soak up all that sauce. YUM!

FAQ

Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
A: Absolutely! Thighs are super juicy and will work just as well. Do your thing!

Q: What if I don’t have heavy cream?
A: You can use half and half or even make a quick version of your own by mixing milk with some butter. Just don’t tell anyone! 😉

Q: Can I add veggies?
A: Heck yes! Toss in some spinach, mushrooms, or even broccoli to make it a one-pan meal.
