Creamy Garlic Chicken

This Creamy Garlic Chicken is dedicated to all of the gravy (and garlic!) lovers out there. Wait until you try this recipe. You’re going to want to make this every week.

The garlic cloves add the best gourmet flavor to the sauce without overpowering it. Since the cloves are whole, the flavor is nice and subtle. They’re also caramelized a bit before the sauce is made, which brings out a hint of sweetness and rounds everything out.

I think you’ve just found your new favorite chicken recipe. Scroll down to see how it’s made, tips for perfectly seared chicken, and other PRO tips!

How to Make It

See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

Slice the chicken into 3 thinner slices. Season with salt/pepper and Italian seasonings. Dredge in flour/Parmesan cheese mixture. Sear in olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.

Melt butter in the skillet and use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pot. Add garlic cloves. Cook and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.

Add flour to the butter mixture and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, beef bouillon, and seasonings in splashes. Stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.

Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Add the chicken back and spoon the sauce on top. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes!

Tips For Searing the Chicken

Adjust the heat up and down slightly throughout the cooking process for a nice even sear and golden color.

We want brown (not black) remnants left in the pot. The “fond” left in the skillet gives a lot of flavor to the sauce.

I would rather cook chicken at a slightly lower temperature for a longer period of time than at a super high temperature that can cause burning and oil splatter. Start at medium -high and decrease heat slightly as needed. You can always increase it again later.

If the chicken is sticking to the pan, it’s not ready to be moved and is still developing a crispy crust. Allow it to release on it’s own to avoid tearing the surface of the chicken.

Storage

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

This meal does freeze well. I reheat from frozen in the microwave, you can also thaw overnight and reheat leftovers in a lightly greased, covered casserole dish at 350° for 20-25 minutes.

Ingredients

Chicken

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salt/Pepper

3 teaspoons Italian seasonings

½ cup all-purpose flour

4 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded

3-4 Tablespoons olive oil


Sauce

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter

10 cloves garlic

3 Tablespoons flour

2 ½ cups chicken broth

1 beef bouillon cube or 1 tsp better than bouillon

1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce, can sub Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon mustard powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ cup heavy cream

½ cup Parmesan cheese, (optional)


Instructions

Prep Work:

Combine the chicken broth, bouillon, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme. Set aside.

Combine flour and Parmesan cheese on a plate and measure out additional ingredients prior to beginning.

Cut, Pound, Dredge, and Sear the Chicken:

Slice the chicken to create 2-3 thinner slices. Place the chicken in a gallon freezer bag (or in between saran wrap) and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat completely dry.

Season with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Dredge each side in the flour mixture. Tap off excess.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside and leave brown remnants in the pan. (See notes for key tips for searing chicken.)


Make the Sauce:

Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pot. Add the garlic cloves and let them soften and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.

Add the flour and whisk with a fork for 1-2 minutes, until raw flour smell is gone and it begins to brown.

Add the chicken broth mixture in splashes, stirring continuously.

Stir in the cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.

Add the chicken back to the pan along with any juice from the plate. Spoon the sauce on top. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken during this time.

Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans!
