Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Pat your chicken dry with paper towel then flatten each breast with a mallet or a sturdy plate so they cook evenly.
- 2Toss the chicken in a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil and all the listed chicken seasonings. Make sure it’s coated all over.
- 3Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add your seasoned chicken.
- 4Sear for about 5 minutes per side until golden.
- 5Add the butter and baste.
- 6After 2 more minutes, set the chicken aside.
- 7In the same pan, pour in a splash of wine (if using) to deglaze.
- 8While cooking off the wine for 2 minutes, scrape up all those glorious golden bits.
- 9Add the garlic and sauté for a minute until it smells unreal.
- 10Stir in the sauce seasonings and cook for another minute.
- 11Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then drop the heat to a low simmer.
- 12Stir in the cream and let it gently bubble for a few minutes.
- 13Now add that parmesan and stir.
- 14Return the chicken back to its creamy throne and allow it to briefly bathe, spooning sauce over it.
- 15Serve it over mashed potatoes.
- 16Garnish with fresh chives and an extra sprinkle of parmesan if your heart says so.
