Creamy Garlic Chicken Breast Easy Dinner Recipe

INGREDIENTS

For The Chicken:

2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Black cracked pepper

For The Sauce:

5 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

1 small onion finely chopped

1 whole head of garlic peeled and divided into 10-12 cloves, minced

2 cups chicken stock

1 1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, and parmesan cheese. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to coat evenly.

Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through, and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a plate. Set aside.

Wipe the pan over with a sheet of paper towel.

Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil/juices in the pan until softened.

Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the stock to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce to half, about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all of the flavors together.

Mix in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until cheese melts, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak up all of the delicious flavors.

Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper.

Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
