Garlic Parmesan Chicken Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 30 min total

Juicy, pan-seared chicken breasts in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
5. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Return chicken to the skillet. Spoon sauce over chicken. Simmer for 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
7. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Tips

• For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded.
• Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
