On busy weeknights, I always reach for either my favorite easy\npork chop recipes\nor this Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken – great food, super quick, and easy cleanup… it’s totally winner winner chicken dinner!\nCREAMY GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN\nLike this recipe? Pin it to your DINNER board!\nFollow\nReal Housemoms\non Pinterest\nIf you’re anything like me, you \nlove\ngarlic. I like garlic to an almost unhealthy level (like warding off vampires level…). Garlic is by far my favorite herb to season my foods with. I put it in pasta, season my chicken with it, and of \ncourse,\nI love good toasty garlic bread.\nGarlic is simply seasoning perfection. It has a slightly spicy flavor that when cooked becomes deliciously sweet and makes your mouth water with anticipation for that moment you take your first bite.\nThis garlic butter chicken has \ntons\nof garlic in it. But, don’t fret… you won’t be scaring people off with your breath. Because you’re sautéing it, the garlic gives off more of its sweet flavor than the stinky breath-causing flavor. 🙂\nIngredients for Garlic Butter Chicken\nThe thing I love most about this garlic butter chicken breast recipe is that it only uses ingredients that are \nstaples\nin my pantry. No trips to specialty grocery stores, no last-minute sending my husband out for an ingredient that I totally forgot. That’s what makes this dinner an easy weeknight dinner… I can make it on a total whim!\nChicken – \nI usually grab a pack of thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. One less thing to prep. However, you can also buy regular chicken breasts and cut them in half to create 4 thin-cut breasts.\nBuy whatever is on sale, there’s no wrong answer here. You just want the chicken thin so it cooks quickly and all the way through.\nChicken Seasoning –\nso you’re not going to really\nbread\nyour chicken breasts, but you will give them a quick dredge to give them that golden crisp that tastes\namazing.\nTo make this seasoning you’ll need some flour, grated parmesan, salt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.\nSauce –\ngarlic butter sauce for chicken is delicious and SO easy to make. For this garlicky perfection, you’ll need olive oil, butter, onion, garlic (a whole head of it, you won’t regret it!), chicken broth, cream, some more grated parmesan, and parsley.\nHow to make Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken\nLike I’ve already mentioned, this is one of my go-to busy mom meals. Simple ingredients matched with quick and easy cooking make for the ultimate dinner. So, grab your favorite skillet and get cooking!\nStart by prepping your chicken seasoning: in a shallow bowl, combine your flour, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.\nDredge your chicken breasts in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Remember – we’re not BREADING your chicken here, just giving it a thin coating to get that nice crisp to the chicken.\nNext, in a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the oil and the butter. Add the chicken and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side (or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown).\nRemove your cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside. Don’t get rid of those pan drippings though! Keep them in the skillet as the base for your creamy garlic butter sauce.\nNow grab that head of garlic and peel it. Smash the large cloves of garlic, the smaller ones can stay intact.\nIn the skillet (with all those juicy drippings!), add the onions and cook until they’re translucent.\nAdd in the garlic and saute.\nNext, add a\nlittle\nbroth to the pan to deglaze it. Then add the rest of the broth and the cream.\nCook the sauce until it is reduced and a little thicker. It will still be somewhat thin, don’t worry. The parmesan cheese will thicken it up!\nAdd in the parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.\nReturn the chicken to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes more – this step really gets that garlicky flavor infused into your chicken breasts.\nSprinkle with parsley and a little extra parmesan, serve and enjoy!\nHow do you cook chicken breast without drying it out?\nChicken is for \nsure\none of my favorite meats to cook with. It’s just so versatile and delicious (not to mention a great source of lean protein!). But, if cooked incorrectly, chicken can be dry, tough, and simply unappetizing.\nI’ve found that in order to keep chicken tender and moist, you’ve got to cook it on relatively high heat for a short time. The thinner your chicken breasts, the easier it is to cook to a safe temperature without letting it dry out.\nIt’s also super helpful to cook and serve the chicken with a sauce. Garlic butter sauce for chicken is a\nperfect \nexample! The sauce not only infuses the chicken with tons of creamy flavor, but it also helps to lock the moisture of the chicken inside!\nLooking for some more yummy weeknight meals?

Pin it to your DINNER board\\!****Follow** [**Real Housemoms**](https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/realhousemoms\/) **on Pinterest**\n\nIf you’re anything like me, you *love* garlic. I like garlic to an almost unhealthy level (like warding off vampires level…). Garlic is by far my favorite herb to season my foods with. I put it in pasta, season my chicken with it, and of *course,* I love good toasty garlic bread.\n\n![](https:\/\/realhousemoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-5.jpg)\n\nGarlic is simply seasoning perfection. It has a slightly spicy flavor that when cooked becomes deliciously sweet and makes your mouth water with anticipation for that moment you take your first bite.\n\nThis garlic butter chicken has *tons* of garlic in it. But, don’t fret… you won’t be scaring people off with your breath. Because you’re sautéing it, the garlic gives off more of its sweet flavor than the stinky breath-causing flavor. 🙂\n\n![](https:\/\/realhousemoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-1.jpg)\n\n## Ingredients for Garlic Butter Chicken\nThe thing I love most about this garlic butter chicken breast recipe is that it only uses ingredients that are *staples* in my pantry. No trips to specialty grocery stores, no last-minute sending my husband out for an ingredient that I totally forgot. That’s what makes this dinner an easy weeknight dinner… I can make it on a total whim\\!\n\n**Chicken –**  I usually grab a pack of thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. One less thing to prep. However, you can also buy regular chicken breasts and cut them in half to create 4 thin-cut breasts.\n\nBuy whatever is on sale, there’s no wrong answer here. You just want the chicken thin so it cooks quickly and all the way through.\n\n**Chicken Seasoning –** so you’re not going to really *bread* your chicken breasts, but you will give them a quick dredge to give them that golden crisp that tastes *amazing.* To make this seasoning you’ll need some flour, grated parmesan, salt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.\n\n**Sauce –** garlic butter sauce for chicken is delicious and SO easy to make. For this garlicky perfection, you’ll need olive oil, butter, onion, garlic (a whole head of it, you won’t regret it!), chicken broth, cream, some more grated parmesan, and parsley.\n\n![](https:\/\/realhousemoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-scaled.jpg)\n\n## How to make Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken\nLike I’ve already mentioned, this is one of my go-to busy mom meals. Simple ingredients matched with quick and easy cooking make for the ultimate dinner. So, grab your favorite skillet and get cooking\\!\n\n1. Start by prepping your chicken seasoning: in a shallow bowl, combine your flour, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.\n2. Dredge your chicken breasts in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Remember – we’re not BREADING your chicken here, just giving it a thin coating to get that nice crisp to the chicken.\n3. Next, in a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the oil and the butter. Add the chicken and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side (or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown).\n4. Remove your cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside. Don’t get rid of those pan drippings though! Keep them in the skillet as the base for your creamy garlic butter sauce.\n5. Now grab that head of garlic and peel it. Smash the large cloves of garlic, the smaller ones can stay intact.\n6. In the skillet (with all those juicy drippings!), add the onions and cook until they’re translucent.\n7. Add in the garlic and saute.\n8. Next, add a *little* broth to the pan to deglaze it. Then add the rest of the broth and the cream.\n9. Cook the sauce until it is reduced and a little thicker. It will still be somewhat thin, don’t worry. The parmesan cheese will thicken it up\\!\n10. Add in the parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.\n11. Return the chicken to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes more – this step really gets that garlicky flavor infused into your chicken breasts.\n12. Sprinkle with parsley and a little extra parmesan, serve and enjoy\\!\n\n![](https:\/\/realhousemoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-3.jpg)\n\n## How do you cook chicken breast without drying it out?\nChicken is for *sure* one of my favorite meats to cook with. It’s just so versatile and delicious (not to mention a great source of lean protein!). But, if cooked incorrectly, chicken can be dry, tough, and simply unappetizing.\n\nI’ve found that in order to keep chicken tender and moist, you’ve got to cook it on relatively high heat for a short time. The thinner your chicken breasts, the easier it is to cook to a safe temperature without letting it dry out.\n\nIt’s also super helpful to cook and serve the chicken with a sauce. Garlic butter sauce for chicken is a *perfect* example! The sauce not only infuses the chicken with tons of creamy flavor, but it also helps to lock the moisture of the chicken inside\\!\n\n![](https:\/\/realhousemoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-4.jpg)\n\n## Looking for some more yummy weeknight meals?

CREAMY GARLIC BUTTER CHICKENLike this recipe? Pin it to your DINNER board\!Follow [Real Housemoms](https://www.pinterest.com/realhousemoms/) on Pinterest If you’re anything like me, you love garlic. I like garlic to an almost unhealthy level (like warding off vampires level…). Garlic is by far my favorite herb to season my foods with. I put it in pasta, season my chicken with it, and of course, I love good toasty garlic bread. ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20760%201140'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![](https://realhousemoms.com/wp-content/uploads/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-5.jpg) Garlic is simply seasoning perfection. It has a slightly spicy flavor that when cooked becomes deliciously sweet and makes your mouth water with anticipation for that moment you take your first bite. This garlic butter chicken has tons of garlic in it. But, don’t fret… you won’t be scaring people off with your breath. Because you’re sautéing it, the garlic gives off more of its sweet flavor than the stinky breath-causing flavor. 🙂 ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20760%201140'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![](https://realhousemoms.com/wp-content/uploads/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-1.jpg) ## Ingredients for Garlic Butter Chicken The thing I love most about this garlic butter chicken breast recipe is that it only uses ingredients that are staples in my pantry. No trips to specialty grocery stores, no last-minute sending my husband out for an ingredient that I totally forgot. That’s what makes this dinner an easy weeknight dinner… I can make it on a total whim\! Chicken – I usually grab a pack of thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. One less thing to prep. However, you can also buy regular chicken breasts and cut them in half to create 4 thin-cut breasts. Buy whatever is on sale, there’s no wrong answer here. You just want the chicken thin so it cooks quickly and all the way through. Chicken Seasoning – so you’re not going to really bread your chicken breasts, but you will give them a quick dredge to give them that golden crisp that tastes amazing. To make this seasoning you’ll need some flour, grated parmesan, salt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauce – garlic butter sauce for chicken is delicious and SO easy to make. For this garlicky perfection, you’ll need olive oil, butter, onion, garlic (a whole head of it, you won’t regret it!), chicken broth, cream, some more grated parmesan, and parsley. ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20760%201709'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![](https://realhousemoms.com/wp-content/uploads/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-scaled.jpg) ## How to make Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken Like I’ve already mentioned, this is one of my go-to busy mom meals. Simple ingredients matched with quick and easy cooking make for the ultimate dinner. So, grab your favorite skillet and get cooking\! 1. Start by prepping your chicken seasoning: in a shallow bowl, combine your flour, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 2. Dredge your chicken breasts in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Remember – we’re not BREADING your chicken here, just giving it a thin coating to get that nice crisp to the chicken. 3. Next, in a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the oil and the butter. Add the chicken and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side (or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown). 4. Remove your cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside. Don’t get rid of those pan drippings though! Keep them in the skillet as the base for your creamy garlic butter sauce. 5. Now grab that head of garlic and peel it. Smash the large cloves of garlic, the smaller ones can stay intact. 6. In the skillet (with all those juicy drippings!), add the onions and cook until they’re translucent. 7. Add in the garlic and saute. 8. Next, add a little broth to the pan to deglaze it. Then add the rest of the broth and the cream. 9. Cook the sauce until it is reduced and a little thicker. It will still be somewhat thin, don’t worry. The parmesan cheese will thicken it up\! 10. Add in the parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. 11. Return the chicken to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes more – this step really gets that garlicky flavor infused into your chicken breasts. 12. Sprinkle with parsley and a little extra parmesan, serve and enjoy\! ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20760%201140'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![](https://realhousemoms.com/wp-content/uploads/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-3.jpg) ## How do you cook chicken breast without drying it out? Chicken is for sure one of my favorite meats to cook with. It’s just so versatile and delicious (not to mention a great source of lean protein!). But, if cooked incorrectly, chicken can be dry, tough, and simply unappetizing. I’ve found that in order to keep chicken tender and moist, you’ve got to cook it on relatively high heat for a short time. The thinner your chicken breasts, the easier it is to cook to a safe temperature without letting it dry out. It’s also super helpful to cook and serve the chicken with a sauce. Garlic butter sauce for chicken is a perfect example! The sauce not only infuses the chicken with tons of creamy flavor, but it also helps to lock the moisture of the chicken inside\! ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20760%201140'%3E%3C/svg%3E)![](https://realhousemoms.com/wp-content/uploads/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-4.jpg) ## Looking for some more yummy weeknight meals?

But, if cooked incorrectly, chicken can be dry, tough, and simply unappetizing. I’ve found that in order to keep chicken tender and moist, you’ve got to cook it on relatively high heat for a short time. The thinner your chicken breasts, the easier it is to cook to a safe temperature without letting it dry out. It’s also super helpful to cook and serve the chicken with a sauce. Garlic butter sauce for chicken is a perfect example! The sauce not only infuses the chicken with tons of creamy flavor, but it also helps to lock the moisture of the chicken inside\! ![](https://realhousemoms.com/wp-content/uploads/Creamy-Garlic-Butter-Chicken-IC-4.jpg) ## Looking for some more yummy weeknight meals?
