This Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a delightful one-skillet meal that you can easily and quickly make at any time. Tender and juicy chicken breasts smothered in a luscious, creamy garlic Parmesan cream sauce. Pair this up with pasta or veggies for a simple, filling meal that your entire family will love!
Not only that this dish tastes super amazing, but this smells great, too! I love the aroma of garlic simmering in butter or olive oil. Throw in the Parmesan and you’ve got yourself a superb flavor combination that is a match made in heaven!
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
4 small-medium chicken breasts or 2 large halved
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. light cream or heavy cream
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbsp Italian seasoning or oregano
1 c. spinach, chopped (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
How to make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Step 1: Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy skillet/pan, heat the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet/pan and sear for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Note that the cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Then, set the chicken aside when done.
Step 2: Adjust the heat to medium-low and add the garlic to the same pan. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds. Next, add the cream along with the Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Stir well. If desired, add 1 c. of chopped spinach. Stir and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Step 3: Place the chicken back in the pan and let everything simmer for an additional minute. When done, turn the heat off.
Step 4: Over the chicken, spoon the sauce. Serve the creamy garlic, Parmesan cheese immediately with veggies or pasta. Enjoy!
