Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Recipe that makes dinner easy and delicious in just 30 minutes Perfect for busy nights and tasty meals

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated works best)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

    • Instructions

  • Pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on one side.
  • Turn the chicken and sear the other side for about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Don’t worry if it’s not fully cooked yet.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant but not burnt.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, then sprinkle in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir constantly until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over each piece. Cover loosely with a lid and simmer for 5-7 minutes to let the chicken finish cooking inside the sauce. The chicken should reach 165°F.
  • Taste the sauce and add more salt or pepper if needed. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish before serving.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or chicken broth and stir it in. If too thin, cook it a little longer uncovered to let it reduce.
