Creamy Garlic Chicken (One-Pan Favorite)
📝 Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
4–5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
Season the chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and scrape up all the flavorful bits from the pan.
Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and simmer 5 more minutes.
Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
