It sounds like you’re in the mood for something creamy and fantastic! Here’s a delightful and creamy recipe idea that fits the bill:
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Season the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the garlic sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Add Parmesan and seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce thicken for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Return the chicken: Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Simmer for a couple more minutes to heat everything through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve this creamy dish with mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice for a fantastic meal that’s sure to impress!
