Creamy Garlic Chicken

This garlic chicken is chicken breast tenders with plenty of fresh minced garlic in a creamy parmesan sauce. A quick and easy meal that tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant!
I’m constantly coming up with new and easy chicken dinners – some of my favorites include balsamic chicken, garlic and herb drumsticks and this simple yet satisfying garlic chicken.
When I’m looking for a speedy dinner, I often turn to chicken breast tenders. They’re lean, cook quickly and my kids love ’em. This garlic chicken uses breast tenders in the most delicious creamy sauce with plenty of garlic involved! Add some mashed potatoes and a steamed veggie and dinner is served.

How do you make garlic chicken?

The first step in this recipe is to brown your chicken in a little butter. After the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, a generous amount of garlic goes into the pan. The next step is to make the cream sauce, which consists of butter, chicken broth, cream and parmesan cheese. Pour the sauce over the chicken and dinner is served!

Creamy Garlic Chicken
This was delicious. Not a speedy dinner, but well worth all the steps to get to the delightful ending. Next time I will add mushrooms.

Ingredients

•     2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
•     2 tablespoons butter divided
•     1 tablespoon olive oil
•     Flour for dredging
•     1 whole head garlic cloves peeled
•     1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
•     1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
•     1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
•     1 cup heavy/whipping cream
•     Parsley chopped (optional)
•     Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets. Sprinkle them with some salt & pepper and coat them in the flour.
2. Add the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sauté the chicken for 4-5 minutes/side or until it's nice and golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
3. Reduce the heat to medium (or even med-low if using cast iron), and add the rest of the butter to the pan. Let it melt and then add the garlic cloves. Cook them for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until they're lightly browned on the outside.
4. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic powder to the pan. Let it bubble for around 4 minutes or until the liquid is noticeably reduced.
5. Stir in the cream and add the chicken back into the pan. Let it cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the sauce is reduced and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with freshly chopped parsley if you wish.
