Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Flour or cornstarch
Butter
Olive oil
Garlic cloves
Chicken broth
Heavy cream
Salt
Black pepper
Italian herbs
Paprika
Onion powder
White wine (optional)
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Lemon (optional, for tangy flavor)
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken by patting it dry and seasoning it with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, paprika, and onion powder.
2. Lightly coat the chicken with flour or cornstarch to create a crispy exterior.
3. Heat a combination of butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
4. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same pan, melt additional butter and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
6. Pour in chicken broth and, if using, white wine, allowing it to simmer and reduce slightly.
7. Stir in heavy cream and mix well to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
8. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, coating it in the garlic sauce.
9. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and flavors meld together.
10. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness.
12. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
13. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Notes
Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced for a richer and more aromatic flavor.
Coat the chicken lightly with flour or cornstarch to create a crispy texture when pan-fried.
Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or chicken broth to add depth to the sauce.
