Garlic Parmesan Chicken – A Creamy and Delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken Recipe

Discover how to make the best Garlic Parmesan Chicken. This creamy, savory chicken recipe is easy to make and will wow your taste buds.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups chicken broth

¼ cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1 teaspoon honey

½ chicken bouillon cube

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon oregano

½ teaspoon basil

½ teaspoon parsley

Chicken/Other Ingredients:

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

2 teaspoons parsley

1–2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce:
    Combine all the sauce ingredients (chicken broth, cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, honey, chicken bouillon, onion powder, oregano, basil, and parsley) in a large measuring cup and set aside.
  2. Prep the Chicken:
    Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner pieces. Cover with saran wrap and use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to about ½-inch thickness.
  3. Season the Chicken:
    Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  4. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden. Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  5. Make the Sauce:
    Turn off the heat and use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom of the skillet. This will incorporate the fond (caramelized bits) into the sauce. Turn the heat back on, and add the garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, reducing the liquid by half.
  6. Add Butter and Flour:
    Stir in butter and flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  7. Simmer the Sauce:
    Gradually add the sauce mixture from step 1 to the skillet while stirring continuously. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your liking.
  8. Add Parmesan and Lemon Juice:
    Reduce the heat to low, then gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese. Once the cheese has melted, add the fresh lemon juice and stir until everything is well combined.
  9. Finish Cooking the Chicken:
    Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and heat for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully heated through and the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
  11. Serve and Garnish:
    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables of your choice.

Notes

If your skillet isn’t large enough to cook all the chicken at once, don’t crowd the pan. Cook in batches to get a nice golden crust on each side. If necessary, add a bit more olive oil between batches.
