It’s especially good served with something simple and cheesy like\nLow Carb Cacio e Pepe\non the side.\nWhat Goes into this Recipe \nChicken:\nI used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to make them thinner. \nButter:\nFor the richness. \nFlour:\nTo coat the chicken and get that bit of crunchiness on the exterior. \nChicken broth:\nFor that flavor-packed sauce. \nHeavy cream:\nTo add creaminess to the sauce. Use evaporated milk or half and half if you don’t have this. \nAromatics:\nFresh garlic and white onion, to build that savory base. You’ll need a whole head of garlic here. \nParmesan cheese:\nFor that salty, nutty deliciousness. \nSeasonings:\nJust a bit of salt, pepper and some garlic powder. \nParsley:\nChopped fresh, to garnish. \nOlive oil:\nTo fry the chicken. \nNote: please see recipe card at the bottom for list of full ingredients and measurements\nRecipe FAQ’s\nHow Can I Store Leftover Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts?\nStore your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave, pausing at every 15 second interval. You may also need to add a splash of milk or chicken broth to get the sauce back to the right consistency. \nCan I Try This With Another Protein?\nYes, you can! I love the idea of trying this recipe with shrimp, steaks and even salmon. Just remember that the cooking time will be different depending on the kind of meat you’re working with. \nYou might also like\nGet a\nfree\neBook!\nSubscribe to Cafe Delites FOR FREE and receive recipes straight into your inbox!\nFor The Chicken:\n▢\n2-3\nboneless chicken breasts\nlarge, skinless, halved horizontally to make 4\n▢\n4\ntablespoons\nflour\n(all purpose or plain)\n▢\n4\ntablespoons\nparmesan cheese\nfinely grated, fresh\n▢\n2\nteaspoon\nsalt\n▢\n1\nteaspoon\ngarlic powder\n▢\n1\/2\nteaspoon\nblack pepper\ncracked\nFor The Sauce:\n▢\n5\ntablespoons\nolive oil\n▢\n2\ntablespoons\nbutter\n▢\n1\nsmall\nonion\nfinely chopped\n▢\n1\nwhole\nhead of garlic\npeeled and divided into 10-12 cloves\n▢\n1 1\/4\ncup\nchicken broth\n(stock)\n▢\n1 1\/4\ncup\nheavy cream\nhalf and half (or evaporated milk)\n▢\n1\/2\ncup\nparmesan cheese\nfinely grated, fresh\n▢\n2\ntablespoons\nfresh parsley\nto serve\nSeason the chicken with salt, garlic powder and pepper.\nIn a shallow bowl, combine the flour, parmesan cheese. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess.\nHeat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to coat evenly. \nFry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate. Set aside.\nWipe pan over with a sheet of paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate.\nReduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil\/juices in the pan until softened. \nSmash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of the back of a knife \nAdd the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Sauté smashed garlic cloves and whole garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce to half, about 5 minutes.\nReduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all of the flavours together.\nMix in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until cheese melts, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. \nAdd the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak up all of the delicious flavours.\nGarnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper. \nServe over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.\nTips: \nYou can use heavy cream, whipping cream or thickened cream in the sauce.\nFor a lightened up sauce, use evaporated milk or half and half. If using half and half, be careful not to bring your sauce to a rapid boil or it may curdle.\nCalories:\n666\nkcal\n|\nCarbohydrates:\n11\ng\n|\nProtein:\n22\ng\n|\nFat:\n60\ng\n|\nSaturated Fat:\n28\ng\n|\nPolyunsaturated Fat:\n4\ng\n|\nMonounsaturated Fat:\n25\ng\n|\nTrans Fat:\n0.3\ng\n|\nCholesterol:\n149\nmg\n|\nSodium:\n1819\nmg\n|\nPotassium:\n284\nmg\n|\nFiber:\n1\ng\n|\nSugar:\n3\ng\n|\nVitamin A:\n1624\nIU\n|\nVitamin C:\n4\nmg\n|\nCalcium:\n278\nmg\n|\nIron:\n1\nmg\nNutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.\nHey Good Food Lovers!

Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess.\n- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to coat evenly.\n- Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate. Set aside.\n- Wipe pan over with a sheet of paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate.\n- Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil\/juices in the pan until softened.\n- Smash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of the back of a knife\n- Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Sauté smashed garlic cloves and whole garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce to half, about 5 minutes.\n- Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all of the flavours together.\n- Mix in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until cheese melts, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.\n- Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak up all of the delicious flavours.\n- Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper.\n  \n  Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.\n\n### Notes\n**Tips:**\n\n- You can use heavy cream, whipping cream or thickened cream in the sauce.\n- For a lightened up sauce, use evaporated milk or half and half. If using half and half, be careful not to bring your sauce to a rapid boil or it may curdle.\n\n### Nutrition\nCalories: 666kcal \\| Carbohydrates: 11g \\| Protein: 22g \\| Fat: 60g \\| Saturated Fat: 28g \\| Polyunsaturated Fat: 4g \\| Monounsaturated Fat: 25g \\| Trans Fat: 0\\.3g \\| Cholesterol: 149mg \\| Sodium: 1819mg \\| Potassium: 284mg \\| Fiber: 1g \\| Sugar: 3g \\| Vitamin A: 1624IU \\| Vitamin C: 4mg \\| Calcium: 278mg \\| Iron: 1mg\n\nNutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.\n\n*Tried this?* Leave a comment below\\!\n\nLike this recipe?

Use evaporated milk or half and half if you don’t have this. - Aromatics: Fresh garlic and white onion, to build that savory base. You’ll need a whole head of garlic here. - Parmesan cheese: For that salty, nutty deliciousness. - Seasonings: Just a bit of salt, pepper and some garlic powder. - Parsley: Chopped fresh, to garnish. - Olive oil: To fry the chicken.

I love serving this chicken breast recipe with some steamed rice or [Mashed Potatoes](https://cafedelites.com/easy-creamy-mashed-potatoes/)! You can also team it up with a simple pasta, some [Cauliflower Mash](https://cafedelites.com/mashed-cauliflower/) or even some zucchini noodles. If you’re a bread lover, try my [No Knead Artisan Bread](https://cafedelites.com/artisan-bread-recipe/) or [Individual Garlic Cheese Breads](https://cafedelites.com/individual-garlic-cheese-bread/)– both work wonderfully to mop up that delicious sauce. ## Recipe FAQ’s How Can I Store Leftover Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts? Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave, pausing at every 15 second interval. You may also need to add a splash of milk or chicken broth to get the sauce back to the right consistency. Can I Try This With Another Protein? Yes, you can! I love the idea of trying this recipe with shrimp, steaks and even salmon. Just remember that the cooking time will be different depending on the kind of meat you’re working with. ![close up of creamy garlic chicken breast](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20800%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![close up of creamy garlic chicken breast](https://cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Creamy-Garlic-Chicken-Breasts-IMAGE-55-1.jpg) ## Watch It On Video > [Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts/) ## You might also like [![garlic parmesan chicken wings on plate with crispy skin, melted butter, parmesan cheese and fresh parsley](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20600'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![garlic parmesan chicken wings on plate with crispy skin, melted butter, parmesan cheese and fresh parsley](https://cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Garlic-Parmesan-Chicken-wings-10-600x600.jpg)](https://cafedelites.com/easy-crispy-garlic-parmesan-wings/) ### [Easy Crispy Garlic Parmesan Wings](https://cafedelites.com/easy-crispy-garlic-parmesan-wings/) [![Close view of Lemon Pepper Wings](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20600'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Close view of Lemon Pepper Wings](https://cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Lemon-Pepper-Wings-12-600x600.jpg)](https://cafedelites.com/crispy-lemon-pepper-chicken-wings/) ### [CRISPY Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings](https://cafedelites.com/crispy-lemon-pepper-chicken-wings/) [![Close view of arugula salad.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20600'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Close view of arugula salad.](https://cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Arugula-Salad-Cafe-Delites-2-600x600.jpg)](https://cafedelites.com/easy-arugula-chicken-salad-recipe/) ### [Easy Arugula Chicken Salad Recipe](https://cafedelites.com/easy-arugula-chicken-salad-recipe/) [![A top down view of a heart shaped tart and a half hart tart sliced in 2 with marry me chicken stuffing inside.

Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess. - Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to coat evenly. - Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate. Set aside. - Wipe pan over with a sheet of paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate. - Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil/juices in the pan until softened. - Smash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of the back of a knife - Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Sauté smashed garlic cloves and whole garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce to half, about 5 minutes. - Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all of the flavours together. - Mix in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until cheese melts, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. - Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak up all of the delicious flavours. - Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper. Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice or mashed potatoes. ### Notes Tips: - You can use heavy cream, whipping cream or thickened cream in the sauce. - For a lightened up sauce, use evaporated milk or half and half. If using half and half, be careful not to bring your sauce to a rapid boil or it may curdle. ### Nutrition Calories: 666kcal \\| Carbohydrates: 11g \\| Protein: 22g \\| Fat: 60g \\| Saturated Fat: 28g \\| Polyunsaturated Fat: 4g \\| Monounsaturated Fat: 25g \\| Trans Fat: 0\.3g \\| Cholesterol: 149mg \\| Sodium: 1819mg \\| Potassium: 284mg \\| Fiber: 1g \\| Sugar: 3g \\| Vitamin A: 1624IU \\| Vitamin C: 4mg \\| Calcium: 278mg \\| Iron: 1mg Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.

Crispy, golden chicken on the outside, tender and succulent on the inside and lightly simmered in a creamy sauce with an abundance of flavour. This is the ultimate secret to moist chicken breasts\! Chicken breasts tend to have a bad reputation for being too dry, chalky or hard to swallow. However, this recipe yields perfectly juicy breasts every time, lightly floured and pan-fried. With all of the creamy sauce recipes I have on this site including [Creamy Garlic Tuscan Shrimp](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-butter-tuscan-shrimp/), [Creamy Dijon Chicken](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-dijon-chicken/), [Creamy Salmon Piccata](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-lemon-garlic-salmon-piccata/), and [Creamy Parmesan Shrimp](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-shrimp/), this one seems to stand out from the crowd! Possibly because the entire dish can be ready to rock in 30 minutes or less. ![A silver frying pan of deliciously five Chicken Breasts in a garlic cream sauce with whole garlic cloves and a silver serving fork ](https://cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Creamy-Garlic-Chicken-IMAGE-1.jpg) ## Table of Contents - [Why this Recipe Works](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts/#h-why-this-recipe-works) - [What Goes into this Recipe](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts/#h-what-goes-into-this-recipe-nbsp) - [How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts/#h-how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts) - [Recipe FAQ’s](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts/#h-recipe-faq-s) - [Watch It On Video](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts/#h-watch-it-on-video) - [Creamy Garlic Chicken Breast Recipe](https://cafedelites.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-breasts/#wprm-recipe-container-60729) ## Why this Recipe Works Bursting with flavor and yet, versatile enough to be paired with pretty much any side, this dish packs in everything you need from a classic weeknight meal.

Use evaporated milk or half and half if you don’t have this. - Aromatics: Fresh garlic and white onion, to build that savory base. You’ll need a whole head of garlic here. - Parmesan cheese: For that salty, nutty deliciousness. - Seasonings: Just a bit of salt, pepper and some garlic powder. - Parsley: Chopped fresh, to garnish. - Olive oil: To fry the chicken. Note: please see recipe card at the bottom for list of full ingredients and measurements ## Recipe FAQ’s How Can I Store Leftover Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts? Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave, pausing at every 15 second interval. You may also need to add a splash of milk or chicken broth to get the sauce back to the right consistency. Can I Try This With Another Protein? Yes, you can! I love the idea of trying this recipe with shrimp, steaks and even salmon. Just remember that the cooking time will be different depending on the kind of meat you’re working with. ![close up of creamy garlic chicken breast](https://cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Creamy-Garlic-Chicken-Breasts-IMAGE-55-1.jpg) You might also like ![Karina in a white and black dress with her hair blowing back, standing in front of her cooktop, cooking salmon in a pan](https://cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG-20241228-WA0014.jpg) ## Get a free eBook\!

Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess. - Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to coat evenly. - Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate. Set aside. - Wipe pan over with a sheet of paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate. - Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil/juices in the pan until softened. - Smash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of the back of a knife - Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Sauté smashed garlic cloves and whole garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce to half, about 5 minutes. - Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all of the flavours together. - Mix in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until cheese melts, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. - Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak up all of the delicious flavours. - Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper. Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice or mashed potatoes. Tips: - You can use heavy cream, whipping cream or thickened cream in the sauce. - For a lightened up sauce, use evaporated milk or half and half. If using half and half, be careful not to bring your sauce to a rapid boil or it may curdle.
