Delicious Creamy Garlic Chicken with Parsley
Ingredients:
1½ pounds chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
Cooked pasta for serving (optional)
Directions:
Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in grated Parmesan until smooth and creamy. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle generously with fresh parsley. Serve over pasta if desired.
