Season to taste with salt and pepper.\n2 cups packed baby spinach\n*I recommend using thinly-sliced chicken breasts for this recipe. If they’re on the thicker side,\ncut chicken in half\nand\/or pound it into thinner pieces. If using boneless thighs, increase the cooking time.\n**Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good options. Cooking wine or broth can be used instead.\nTips:\nIf your garlic cloves are really big, cut them in half so they’re all roughly the same size.\nFor a mellower garlic flavor, roast the whole head in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or in the air fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes\nA dollop of whole-grain mustard will add some tanginess to the white sauce.\nAdditions:\nmushrooms, onions, or sun-dried tomatoes make great additions to this dish. Simply add them in with the garlic when making the sauce.\nFully cooked chicken breasts\nshould reach an internal temperature of 165°F.\nStorage:\nStore creamy garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.\nNote: Water, salt, pepper, oil, and broth are not counted as ingredients on this site.\nNutrition Facts\nCreamy Garlic Chicken Recipe\nAmount Per Serving\nCalories\n607\nCalories from Fat 324\n% Daily Value*\nFat\n36g\n55%\nSaturated Fat 18g\n113%\nTrans Fat 0.2g\nPolyunsaturated Fat 2g\nMonounsaturated Fat 11g\nCholesterol\n230mg\n77%\nSodium\n305mg\n13%\nPotassium\n1072mg\n31%\nCarbohydrates\n11g\n4%\nFiber 1g\n4%\nSugar 2g\n2%\nProtein\n54g\n108%\nVitamin A\n2484IU\n50%\nVitamin C\n10mg\n12%\nCalcium\n84mg\n8%\nIron\n2mg\n11%\n* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.\nCourse:\nMain Course\nCuisine:\nAmerican\nWe love seeing what you’ve made!

But if you’d prefer to soften it, you can roast the whole head of garlic before adding it to the pan. This caramelizes the cloves, mellows the sharpness, and creates a naturally sweet, buttery flavor that blends beautifully into the creamy wine sauce.\nTo do this:\nRoast it in the oven at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes; or in the Air Fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes.\nHow to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken with White Sauce Step by Step\nSeason and Dredge the Chicken:\nSeason 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.\nI usually use 1 teaspoon per pound.\nNext, place ¼ cup of all-purpose flour on a medium plate. Then coat each chicken breast in flour, patting off any excess.\nThis helps create a crisp texture on the outside, and helps the cream sauce adhere.\nMelt the Butter:\nHeat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.\nThe butter is for flavor, and the olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning.\nSear the Chicken:\nOnce the butter has melted, add the flour-coated chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate.\nThe chicken breasts should not be cooked through at this point. They will finish cooking later on.\nToast the Garlic:\nAdd the remaining ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan. Then lower the heat to medium, and add 1 head of peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides\n(but be careful not to burn it)\n.\nMake the Creamy Garlic Sauce:\nAdd ½ cup of dry white wine. Bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking until the liquid reduces by half. Once the wine is reduced, pour in 1 cup of room-temperature heavy cream. Again, bring the mixture up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.\nIt’s important to use room temperature heavy cream so the warm pan doesn’t shock and curdle the cream.\nCombine the Chicken and White Sauce:\nAdd the seared chicken back to the garlic cream sauce, cover, and cook until the chicken is\ncooked through to 165°F\n.\nWilt the Spinach:\nOnce the chicken is fully cooked through, add 2 packed cups of baby spinach on top.\nCook Down:\nCover the pan and steam for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until it’s completely wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.\nServe:\nServe creamy garlic chicken breasts over pasta, rice, or potatoes to soak up all that yummy sauce!\nHow to Store and Reheat\nStore chicken and garlic cream sauce in an airtight container, and\nkeep it in the fridge for up to 3 days\n. For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed all the way through. I add a splash of heavy cream while reheating to make the sauce nice and creamy again.\nI don’t recommend freezing this dish because cream sauces tend to break down and become grainy when reheated.\nMeet\nBecky Hardin\nBecky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.

If they’re on the thicker side, [cut chicken in half](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/how-to-make-chicken-cutlets\/) and\/or pound it into thinner pieces. If using boneless thighs, increase the cooking time.*\n\n*\\*\\*Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good options. Cooking wine or broth can be used instead.*\n\n**Tips:**\n\n- If your garlic cloves are really big, cut them in half so they’re all roughly the same size.\n- For a mellower garlic flavor, roast the whole head in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or in the air fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes\n- A dollop of whole-grain mustard will add some tanginess to the white sauce.\n- **Additions:** mushrooms, onions, or sun-dried tomatoes make great additions to this dish. Simply add them in with the garlic when making the sauce.\n- [Fully cooked chicken breasts](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/chicken-internal-temperature-guide\/) should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.\n\n**Storage:** Store creamy garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.\n\nNote: Water, salt, pepper, oil, and broth are not counted as ingredients on this site.\n\nNutrition Facts\n\nCreamy Garlic Chicken Recipe\n\nAmount Per Serving\n\n**Calories** 607 Calories from Fat 324\n\n**% Daily Value\\***\n\n**Fat** 36g**55%**\n\nSaturated Fat 18g**113%**\n\nTrans Fat 0.2g\n\nPolyunsaturated Fat 2g\n\nMonounsaturated Fat 11g\n\n**Cholesterol** 230mg**77%**\n\n**Sodium** 305mg**13%**\n\n**Potassium** 1072mg**31%**\n\n**Carbohydrates** 11g**4%**\n\nFiber 1g**4%**\n\nSugar 2g**2%**\n\n**Protein** 54g**108%**\n\n**Vitamin A** 2484IU**50%**\n\n**Vitamin C** 10mg**12%**\n\n**Calcium** 84mg**8%**\n\n**Iron** 2mg**11%**\n\n\\* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.\n\nAuthor: [Becky Hardin](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/about-us\/)\n\nCourse: Main Course\n\nCuisine: American\n\nDid you make this?We love seeing what you’ve made!

But if you’d prefer to soften it, you can roast the whole head of garlic before adding it to the pan. This caramelizes the cloves, mellows the sharpness, and creates a naturally sweet, buttery flavor that blends beautifully into the creamy wine sauce.\n\n**To do this:** Roast it in the oven at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes; or in the Air Fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes.\n\n## How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken with White Sauce Step by Step\n**Season and Dredge the Chicken:** Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. *I usually use 1 teaspoon per pound.* Next, place ¼ cup of all-purpose flour on a medium plate. Then coat each chicken breast in flour, patting off any excess. *This helps create a crisp texture on the outside, and helps the cream sauce adhere.*\n\n![dredging a chicken breast in flour.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![dredging a chicken breast in flour.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-2.jpg)\n\n**Melt the Butter:** Heat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. *The butter is for flavor, and the olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning.*\n\n![melting butter in a pan.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![melting butter in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-3.jpg)\n\n**Sear the Chicken:** Once the butter has melted, add the flour-coated chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate. *The chicken breasts should not be cooked through at this point. They will finish cooking later on.*\n\n![Chicken breasts searing in a pan.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201193%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![Chicken breasts searing in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-3.jpeg)\n\n**Toast the Garlic:** Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan. Then lower the heat to medium, and add 1 head of peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides *(but be careful not to burn it)*.\n\n![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201190%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-2.jpeg)\n\n**Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:** Add ½ cup of dry white wine. Bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking until the liquid reduces by half. Once the wine is reduced, pour in 1 cup of room-temperature heavy cream. Again, bring the mixture up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. *It’s important to use room temperature heavy cream so the warm pan doesn’t shock and curdle the cream.*\n\n![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201191%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-1.jpeg)\n\n**Combine the Chicken and White Sauce:** Add the seared chicken back to the garlic cream sauce, cover, and cook until the chicken is [cooked through to 165°F](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/chicken-internal-temperature-guide\/).\n\n![Chicken breasts in a white sauce with cloves of garlic.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201194%20802'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![Chicken breasts in a white sauce with cloves of garlic.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-4.jpeg)\n\n**Wilt the Spinach:** Once the chicken is fully cooked through, add 2 packed cups of baby spinach on top.\n\n![Spinach added to a pan with chicken and cream sauce.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201192%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![Spinach added to a pan with chicken and cream sauce.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-5.jpeg)\n\n**Cook Down:** Cover the pan and steam for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until it’s completely wilted.

For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed all the way through. I add a splash of heavy cream while reheating to make the sauce nice and creamy again.\n\nI don’t recommend freezing this dish because cream sauces tend to break down and become grainy when reheated.\n\n## More Creamy Chicken Recipes to Try\\!\n- [![Creamy Mushroom Chicken](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201798'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![Creamy Mushroom Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/creamy-mushroom-chicken-1-of-8.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/creamy-mushroom-chicken\/)\n  \n  ## [Creamy Mushroom Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/creamy-mushroom-chicken\/)\n- [![Sour Cream Chicken](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201500'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![Sour Cream Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/sour-cream-chicken-recipe.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/sour-cream-chicken\/)\n  \n  ## [Sour Cream Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/sour-cream-chicken\/)\n- [![Creamy Chicken Gnocchi](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201500'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![Creamy Chicken Gnocchi](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/creamy-chicken-gnocchi-recipe-4.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/creamy-chicken-gnocchi\/)\n  \n  ## [Creamy Chicken Gnocchi](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/creamy-chicken-gnocchi\/)\n- [![Creamy Rosemary Chicken](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![Creamy Rosemary Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/creamy-rosemary-chicken-recipe.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/creamy-rosemary-chicken-recipe\/)\n  \n  ## [Creamy Rosemary Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/creamy-rosemary-chicken-recipe\/)\n\n### More delish recipes\n- [![garlic butter chicken breast and lemon slices in a skillet](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![garlic butter chicken breast and lemon slices in a skillet](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/garlic-butter-chicken-photos-3-of-6-300x300.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/garlic-butter-chicken\/)\n  [Garlic Butter Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/garlic-butter-chicken\/)\n- [![cropped view of garlic knot chicken in a pan.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![cropped view of garlic knot chicken in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Garlic-Knot-Chicken-17-300x300.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/garlic-knot-chicken\/)\n  [Garlic Knot Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/garlic-knot-chicken\/)\n- [![close up view of chicken with 40 cloves of garlic in a baking dish.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![close up view of chicken with 40 cloves of garlic in a baking dish.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/chicken-40-cloves-garlic-recipe-2-300x300.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/chicken-with-40-cloves-garlic\/)\n  [40 Clove Garlic Chicken](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/chicken-with-40-cloves-garlic\/)\n- [![up close picture of baked chicken wings on sheet pan](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)![up close picture of baked chicken wings on sheet pan](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/garlic-herb-chicken-wings-5-of-5-edited-300x300.jpg)](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/garlic-and-herb-baked-chicken-wings\/)\n  [Garlic Chicken Wings](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/garlic-and-herb-baked-chicken-wings\/)\n\n![Becky Hardin Avatar](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20120%20120'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![Becky Hardin Avatar](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9ffadb1c6663b5981830b193d410fcceff36936edbf0dcb5ae698b979a32b769?s=120&d=mm&r=g)\n\nMeet\n\nBecky Hardin\n\nBecky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.

If using boneless thighs, increase the cooking time.*\n\n*\\*\\*Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good options.

But if you’d prefer to soften it, you can roast the whole head of garlic before adding it to the pan. This caramelizes the cloves, mellows the sharpness, and creates a naturally sweet, buttery flavor that blends beautifully into the creamy wine sauce.\n\n**To do this:** Roast it in the oven at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes; or in the Air Fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes.\n\n## How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken with White Sauce Step by Step\n**Season and Dredge the Chicken:** Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. *I usually use 1 teaspoon per pound.* Next, place ¼ cup of all-purpose flour on a medium plate. Then coat each chicken breast in flour, patting off any excess. *This helps create a crisp texture on the outside, and helps the cream sauce adhere.*\n\n![dredging a chicken breast in flour.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-2.jpg)\n\n**Melt the Butter:** Heat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. *The butter is for flavor, and the olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning.*\n\n![melting butter in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-3.jpg)\n\n**Sear the Chicken:** Once the butter has melted, add the flour-coated chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate. *The chicken breasts should not be cooked through at this point. They will finish cooking later on.*\n\n![Chicken breasts searing in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-3.jpeg)\n\n**Toast the Garlic:** Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan. Then lower the heat to medium, and add 1 head of peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides *(but be careful not to burn it)*.\n\n![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-2.jpeg)\n\n**Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:** Add ½ cup of dry white wine. Bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking until the liquid reduces by half. Once the wine is reduced, pour in 1 cup of room-temperature heavy cream. Again, bring the mixture up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. *It’s important to use room temperature heavy cream so the warm pan doesn’t shock and curdle the cream.*\n\n![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-1.jpeg)\n\n**Combine the Chicken and White Sauce:** Add the seared chicken back to the garlic cream sauce, cover, and cook until the chicken is [cooked through to 165°F](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/chicken-internal-temperature-guide\/).\n\n![Chicken breasts in a white sauce with cloves of garlic.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-4.jpeg)\n\n**Wilt the Spinach:** Once the chicken is fully cooked through, add 2 packed cups of baby spinach on top.\n\n![Spinach added to a pan with chicken and cream sauce.](https:\/\/easychickenrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-5.jpeg)\n\n**Cook Down:** Cover the pan and steam for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until it’s completely wilted.

For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed all the way through. I add a splash of heavy cream while reheating to make the sauce nice and creamy again.\n\nI don’t recommend freezing this dish because cream sauces tend to break down and become grainy when reheated.\n\n![Becky Hardin Avatar](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9ffadb1c6663b5981830b193d410fcceff36936edbf0dcb5ae698b979a32b769?s=120&d=mm&r=g)\n\nMeet\n\nBecky Hardin\n\nBecky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.

Succulent pan-seared chicken breast is cooked in a rich, garlicky white cream sauce. Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes Print Pin Remove Ads Serves 4 people ▢ 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts () ▢ ¼ cup all-purpose flour ▢ 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter (divided) ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil ▢ 1 head garlic (peeled) ▢ ½ cup dry white wine () ▢ 1 cup heavy cream (room temperature) ▢ 2 cups packed baby spinach Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Place flour on a medium plate. Dredge each chicken breast with flour, patting off any excess. ¼ cup all-purpose flour Heat a large skillet with high sides to medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear until brown, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate. 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil Add the remaining ½ tablespoon butter to the pan. Lower heat to medium, and add peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides. 1 head garlic Add wine. Bring it up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half. Once the wine has reduced, pour in the cream. Again, bring the cream and wine up to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. ½ cup dry white wine, 1 cup heavy cream Add the chicken back to the sauce, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Once the chicken is cooked, add in the spinach. Shut the lid and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until completely wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 2 cups packed baby spinach I recommend using thinly-sliced chicken breasts for this recipe. If they’re on the thicker side, cut chicken in half and/or pound it into thinner pieces. If using boneless thighs, increase the cooking time. *Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good options. Cooking wine or broth can be used instead. Tips: If your garlic cloves are really big, cut them in half so they’re all roughly the same size. For a mellower garlic flavor, roast the whole head in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or in the air fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes A dollop of whole-grain mustard will add some tanginess to the white sauce. Additions: mushrooms, onions, or sun-dried tomatoes make great additions to this dish. Simply add them in with the garlic when making the sauce. Fully cooked chicken breasts should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Storage: Store creamy garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Note: Water, salt, pepper, oil, and broth are not counted as ingredients on this site.

Roast the Garlic to Mellow it Out I’m a garlic fiend and love the intense flavor in this chicken dish. But if you’d prefer to soften it, you can roast the whole head of garlic before adding it to the pan. This caramelizes the cloves, mellows the sharpness, and creates a naturally sweet, buttery flavor that blends beautifully into the creamy wine sauce. To do this: Roast it in the oven at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes; or in the Air Fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes. How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken with White Sauce Step by Step Season and Dredge the Chicken: Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. I usually use 1 teaspoon per pound. Next, place ¼ cup of all-purpose flour on a medium plate. Then coat each chicken breast in flour, patting off any excess. This helps create a crisp texture on the outside, and helps the cream sauce adhere. Melt the Butter: Heat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. The butter is for flavor, and the olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning. Sear the Chicken: Once the butter has melted, add the flour-coated chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate. The chicken breasts should not be cooked through at this point. They will finish cooking later on. Toast the Garlic: Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan. Then lower the heat to medium, and add 1 head of peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides (but be careful not to burn it) . Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Add ½ cup of dry white wine. Bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking until the liquid reduces by half. Once the wine is reduced, pour in 1 cup of room-temperature heavy cream. Again, bring the mixture up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. It’s important to use room temperature heavy cream so the warm pan doesn’t shock and curdle the cream. Combine the Chicken and White Sauce: Add the seared chicken back to the garlic cream sauce, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through to 165°F . Wilt the Spinach: Once the chicken is fully cooked through, add 2 packed cups of baby spinach on top. Cook Down: Cover the pan and steam for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until it’s completely wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve: Serve creamy garlic chicken breasts over pasta, rice, or potatoes to soak up all that yummy sauce! How to Store and Reheat Store chicken and garlic cream sauce in an airtight container, and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days . For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed all the way through. I add a splash of heavy cream while reheating to make the sauce nice and creamy again. I don’t recommend freezing this dish because cream sauces tend to break down and become grainy when reheated. Meet Becky Hardin Becky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.

This helps create a crisp texture on the outside, and helps the cream sauce adhere. ![dredging a chicken breast in flour.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![dredging a chicken breast in flour.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-2.jpg) Melt the Butter: Heat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. The butter is for flavor, and the olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning. ![melting butter in a pan.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![melting butter in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-3.jpg) Sear the Chicken: Once the butter has melted, add the flour-coated chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate. The chicken breasts should not be cooked through at this point. They will finish cooking later on. ![Chicken breasts searing in a pan.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201193%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Chicken breasts searing in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-3.jpeg) Toast the Garlic: Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan. Then lower the heat to medium, and add 1 head of peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides (but be careful not to burn it). ![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201190%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-2.jpeg) Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Add ½ cup of dry white wine. Bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking until the liquid reduces by half. Once the wine is reduced, pour in 1 cup of room-temperature heavy cream. Again, bring the mixture up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. It’s important to use room temperature heavy cream so the warm pan doesn’t shock and curdle the cream. ![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201191%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-1.jpeg) Combine the Chicken and White Sauce: Add the seared chicken back to the garlic cream sauce, cover, and cook until the chicken is [cooked through to 165°F](https://easychickenrecipes.com/chicken-internal-temperature-guide/). ![Chicken breasts in a white sauce with cloves of garlic.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201194%20802'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Chicken breasts in a white sauce with cloves of garlic.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-4.jpeg) Wilt the Spinach: Once the chicken is fully cooked through, add 2 packed cups of baby spinach on top. ![Spinach added to a pan with chicken and cream sauce.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201192%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Spinach added to a pan with chicken and cream sauce.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-5.jpeg) Cook Down: Cover the pan and steam for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until it’s completely wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. ![Chicken breasts in creamy garlic white sauce.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201192%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Chicken breasts in creamy garlic white sauce.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-6.jpeg) Serve: Serve creamy garlic chicken breasts over pasta, rice, or potatoes to soak up all that yummy sauce\! ![garlic chicken on plate over spaghetti in cream sauce.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![garlic chicken on plate over spaghetti in cream sauce.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-2-of-6-edited.jpg) ## How to Store and Reheat Store chicken and garlic cream sauce in an airtight container, and [keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days](https://easychickenrecipes.com/how-long-does-chicken-last-in-the-fridge-or-freezer/). For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed all the way through. I add a splash of heavy cream while reheating to make the sauce nice and creamy again. I don’t recommend freezing this dish because cream sauces tend to break down and become grainy when reheated. ## More Creamy Chicken Recipes to Try\! - [![Creamy Mushroom Chicken](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201798'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Creamy Mushroom Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/creamy-mushroom-chicken-1-of-8.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/creamy-mushroom-chicken/) ## [Creamy Mushroom Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/creamy-mushroom-chicken/) - [![Sour Cream Chicken](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201500'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Sour Cream Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sour-cream-chicken-recipe.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/sour-cream-chicken/) ## [Sour Cream Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/sour-cream-chicken/) - [![Creamy Chicken Gnocchi](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201500'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Creamy Chicken Gnocchi](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/creamy-chicken-gnocchi-recipe-4.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/creamy-chicken-gnocchi/) ## [Creamy Chicken Gnocchi](https://easychickenrecipes.com/creamy-chicken-gnocchi/) - [![Creamy Rosemary Chicken](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![Creamy Rosemary Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/creamy-rosemary-chicken-recipe.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/creamy-rosemary-chicken-recipe/) ## [Creamy Rosemary Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/creamy-rosemary-chicken-recipe/) ### More delish recipes - [![garlic butter chicken breast and lemon slices in a skillet](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![garlic butter chicken breast and lemon slices in a skillet](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/garlic-butter-chicken-photos-3-of-6-300x300.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/garlic-butter-chicken/) [Garlic Butter Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/garlic-butter-chicken/) - [![cropped view of garlic knot chicken in a pan.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![cropped view of garlic knot chicken in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Garlic-Knot-Chicken-17-300x300.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/garlic-knot-chicken/) [Garlic Knot Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/garlic-knot-chicken/) - [![close up view of chicken with 40 cloves of garlic in a baking dish.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![close up view of chicken with 40 cloves of garlic in a baking dish.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/chicken-40-cloves-garlic-recipe-2-300x300.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/chicken-with-40-cloves-garlic/) [40 Clove Garlic Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/chicken-with-40-cloves-garlic/) - [![up close picture of baked chicken wings on sheet pan](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![up close picture of baked chicken wings on sheet pan](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/garlic-herb-chicken-wings-5-of-5-edited-300x300.jpg)](https://easychickenrecipes.com/garlic-and-herb-baked-chicken-wings/) [Garlic Chicken Wings](https://easychickenrecipes.com/garlic-and-herb-baked-chicken-wings/) ![Becky Hardin Avatar](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20120%20120'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Becky Hardin Avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9ffadb1c6663b5981830b193d410fcceff36936edbf0dcb5ae698b979a32b769?s=120&d=mm&r=g) Meet Becky Hardin Becky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.

If they’re on the thicker side, [cut chicken in half](https://easychickenrecipes.com/how-to-make-chicken-cutlets/) and/or pound it into thinner pieces. If using boneless thighs, increase the cooking time. \\Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good options. Cooking wine or broth can be used instead. Tips: - If your garlic cloves are really big, cut them in half so they’re all roughly the same size. - For a mellower garlic flavor, roast the whole head in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or in the air fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes - A dollop of whole-grain mustard will add some tanginess to the white sauce. - Additions: mushrooms, onions, or sun-dried tomatoes make great additions to this dish. Simply add them in with the garlic when making the sauce. - [Fully cooked chicken breasts](https://easychickenrecipes.com/chicken-internal-temperature-guide/) should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Storage: Store creamy garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Note: Water, salt, pepper, oil, and broth are not counted as ingredients on this site.

But if you’d prefer to soften it, you can roast the whole head of garlic before adding it to the pan. This caramelizes the cloves, mellows the sharpness, and creates a naturally sweet, buttery flavor that blends beautifully into the creamy wine sauce. To do this: Roast it in the oven at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes; or in the Air Fryer at 370°F for 15-18 minutes. ## How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken with White Sauce Step by Step Season and Dredge the Chicken: Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. I usually use 1 teaspoon per pound. Next, place ¼ cup of all-purpose flour on a medium plate. Then coat each chicken breast in flour, patting off any excess. This helps create a crisp texture on the outside, and helps the cream sauce adhere. ![dredging a chicken breast in flour.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-2.jpg) Melt the Butter: Heat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. The butter is for flavor, and the olive oil helps prevent the butter from burning. ![melting butter in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/how-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-3.jpg) Sear the Chicken: Once the butter has melted, add the flour-coated chicken breasts. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Then flip and sear the other side until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside on a plate. The chicken breasts should not be cooked through at this point. They will finish cooking later on. ![Chicken breasts searing in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-3.jpeg) Toast the Garlic: Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan. Then lower the heat to medium, and add 1 head of peeled garlic cloves. Toast the garlic until light brown on all sides (but be careful not to burn it). ![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-2.jpeg) Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Add ½ cup of dry white wine. Bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking until the liquid reduces by half. Once the wine is reduced, pour in 1 cup of room-temperature heavy cream. Again, bring the mixture up to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. It’s important to use room temperature heavy cream so the warm pan doesn’t shock and curdle the cream. ![Cloves of garlic cooking in a pan.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-1.jpeg) Combine the Chicken and White Sauce: Add the seared chicken back to the garlic cream sauce, cover, and cook until the chicken is [cooked through to 165°F](https://easychickenrecipes.com/chicken-internal-temperature-guide/). ![Chicken breasts in a white sauce with cloves of garlic.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-4.jpeg) Wilt the Spinach: Once the chicken is fully cooked through, add 2 packed cups of baby spinach on top. ![Spinach added to a pan with chicken and cream sauce.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-5.jpeg) Cook Down: Cover the pan and steam for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the lid and toss the spinach with the chicken and sauce until it’s completely wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. ![Chicken breasts in creamy garlic white sauce.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/how-to-chicken-garlic-cream-sauce-6.jpeg) Serve: Serve creamy garlic chicken breasts over pasta, rice, or potatoes to soak up all that yummy sauce\! ![garlic chicken on plate over spaghetti in cream sauce.](https://easychickenrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-2-of-6-edited.jpg) ## How to Store and Reheat Store chicken and garlic cream sauce in an airtight container, and [keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days](https://easychickenrecipes.com/how-long-does-chicken-last-in-the-fridge-or-freezer/). For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed all the way through. I add a splash of heavy cream while reheating to make the sauce nice and creamy again. I don’t recommend freezing this dish because cream sauces tend to break down and become grainy when reheated. ![Becky Hardin Avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9ffadb1c6663b5981830b193d410fcceff36936edbf0dcb5ae698b979a32b769?s=120&d=mm&r=g) Meet Becky Hardin Becky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.
