Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
A dinner for garlic lovers! Succulent chicken topped off with a creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce. One-skillet easy!
Having literally loads of boneless skinless chicken breasts because I buy in bulk whenever they are on sale, Iâm always looking for different ways to make them. Personally I find them too dry to bake so I try to introduce sauce into the mix and I prefer to cook them stovetop so they donât overcook.
I visit Allrecipes often because there I find lots of every-day-type meals that have many photos from folks whoâve actually made the recipe and lots of reviews where cooks tell it like it is! And thatâs where I found the
original recipe
 for this chicken.
One thing I didnât care for and changed was the way the chicken is cooked. Originally, it was done on a BBQ grill. There were instructions for oven, but as I said before, I prefer not to cook this cut by either of those methods.
So what I did was bread them with Italian-flavored bread crumbs and saute them in a bit of olive oil. Another thing I always do is hammer chicken breast to a uniform thickness so the cutlet cooks evenly. I also find it tenderized them some and does prevent them from becoming too dry. One more plus to doing this is they cook fasterâand that always helps with this less-juicy cut.
I also changed the proportion of garlic and cheese. I wanted the cheese to be at best a condiment and let the garlic shine through. I also found that this needed double the amount of flour because the sauce was on the thin side for my taste.
After I cooked the chicken, I did something I rarely doâwiped out the pan with a paper towel. Reason is, I wanted the sauce to be totally white and not get discolored from the browned bits in the pan. If you donât mind a slight discoloration, then donât wipe out the pan. Your sauce, of course, will have more flavor because the browny bits are loaded with flavor.

Using a meat mallet (smooth side), pound each breast between sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper to 1/4-inch thickness. This will give you a pretty large piece of chicken, so what I do is cut each pounded-down breast in half lengthwise.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add 1 tbs of the olive oil.
Dip each piece of chicken in the cream, letting excess cream drip off, then dredge in the Italian bread crumbs. You will probably have to cook the chicken in 2 batches.
Place chicken in hot skillet, browning well on each side, about 5 minutes each side, until chicken tests done (175 degrees F or juices run clear when you cut.
Add remaining 1 tbs of oil and repeat browning with remaining chicken.
Place chicken on a platter, cover and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven.
Wipe out the skillet, if desired.
Melt the butter over medium heat and add the garlic.
Cook garlic until it becomes fragrant--about 3-5 minutes--don't let it brown!
Add the flour and blend it well into the butter/garlic. Let this cook about 1 minute.
Slowly add the chicken stock stirring constantly until there are no lumps.
Slowly blend in the cream then add the salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the Parmesan and cream cheese and stir until the cream cheese melts and blends into the sauce.
Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

This dish sounds delicious. It looks elegant, and definitely worthy to serve to company. Perhaps itâs only my imagination, but it seems to me that theyâve cut WAY DOWN on the âItalian seasoningsâ in the (Progresso) Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs. I found the bread crumbs to be very bland lately, so I now always add more seasonings to them (oregano, basil, dry parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, grated Parmesan cheese (from the green jar), and salt & pepper. This is a huge flavor improvement in the breadcrumbs.

You are SO right!!! I havenât bought flavored breadcrumbs in a long timeâI generally buy plain and flavor myselfâbut the last time they were on sale, I picked up 1 package just to see. NO FLAVOR!!!! Iâll use âem up but will not buy again. Better to do it yourself!!\!

Can I use flour if I donât have bread crumbs on hand?

Sure! The crumbs just give it a bit of crunch is all.
