My Hubby Is Beyond Addicted to This Recipe (I’m Not Even Mad 😅)
I swear I never meant for this recipe to become a thing… but here we are.
The first time I made it, my husband went back for seconds.
The second time? He asked when I’d make it again.
Now? He requests it every single week — sometimes twice 😳

Why Everyone Is Obsessed With This Dish
There’s something magical that happens when tender chicken meets a creamy garlic sauce. The flavors melt together into something that tastes restaurant-quality, yet it’s made in one pan with minimal effort.
What makes it irresistible:
Juicy, pan-seared chicken
Creamy garlic sauce that coats every bite
Simple pantry ingredients
Ready in under 30 minutes
It’s the kind of meal where the table goes quiet because everyone’s too busy eating 😋
Ingredients You’ll Need
You don’t need anything fancy for this one — just honest, flavorful basics:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: Italian seasoning or dried parsley
How to Make It (Step-by-Step)
- Sear the chicken
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside. - Make the garlic sauce
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t let it burn). - Build the creaminess
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up all the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer gently until the sauce thickens. - Bring it all together
Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top and simmer for another 5–7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and coated in that dreamy sauce. - Serve & watch it disappear
Garnish with parsley if you like — then serve immediately.
What to Serve With It
This dish is incredibly versatile. We love it with:
Mashed potatoes
Rice or buttered noodles
Steamed broccoli or green beans
Crusty bread to soak up the sauce
(Pro tip: don’t skip the bread — that sauce is liquid gold 🥖✨)
Storage & Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave
Add a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce if needed
