Read more » This Creamy Garlic Chicken is smothered in a rich and flavorful gravy that’s easy to make in a single skillet. Caramelized garlic cloves add the perfect balance of gourmet flavor. There is plenty of savory sauce to serve over mashed potatoes with roasted green beans . You have just found your new favorite meal! Creamy Garlic Chicken This Creamy Garlic Chicken is dedicated to all of the gravy (and garlic!) lovers out there. Wait until you try this recipe. You’re going to want to make this every week. The garlic cloves add the best gourmet flavor to the sauce without overpowering it. Since the cloves are whole, the flavor is nice and subtle. They’re also caramelized a bit before the sauce is made, which brings out a hint of sweetness and rounds everything out. I think you’ve just found your new favorite chicken recipe . Scroll down to see how it’s made, tips for perfectly seared chicken , and other PRO tips! How to Make It See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions. Slice the chicken into 3 thinner slices. Season with salt/pepper and Italian seasonings. Dredge in flour/Parmesan cheese mixture. Sear in olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.  Melt butter in the skillet and use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pot. Add garlic cloves. Cook and caramelize for 6-7 minutes. Add flour to the butter mixture and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, beef bouillon cube, and seasonings in splashes. Stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Add the chicken back and spoon the sauce on top. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes ! Tips For Searing the Chicken Adjust the heat up and down slightly throughout the cooking process for a nice even sear and golden color. We want brown (not black) remnants left in the pot. The “fond” left in the skillet gives a lot of flavor to the sauce. I would rather cook chicken at a slightly lower temperature for a longer period of time than at a super high temperature that can cause burning and oil splatter. Start at medium -high and decrease heat slightly as needed. You can always increase it again later. If the chicken is sticking to the pan, it’s not ready to be moved and is still developing a crispy crust. Allow it to release on it’s own to avoid tearing the surface of the chicken. Pro Tips If using smaller chicken breasts, consider using 3-4 instead of 2 large. Serve this meal with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables such as green beans . Mushrooms make a great addition to this gravy , I like to sauté them separately and stir them into the sauce at the very end.  Cooking them separately lets them retain their color, texture, and flavor. This recipe is in The Cozy Cookbook on page 99! Storage Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. This meal does freeze well. I reheat from frozen in the microwave, you can also thaw overnight and reheat leftovers in a lightly greased, covered casserole dish at 350° for 20-25 minutes.

Caramelized garlic cloves add the perfect balance of gourmet flavor. There is plenty of savory sauce to serve over [mashed potatoes](https://thecozycook.com/homemade-mashed-potatoes/) with [roasted green beans](https://thecozycook.com/roasted-green-beans/). You have just found your new favorite meal\!*** ![A white plate with Creamy Garlic Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Gravy.](https://thecozycook.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Creamy-Garlic-Chicken.jpg) ## Creamy Garlic Chicken This Creamy Garlic Chicken is dedicated to all of the gravy (and garlic!) lovers out there. Wait until you try this recipe. You’re going to want to make this every week. **The garlic cloves add the best gourmet flavor to the sauce without overpowering it.** Since the cloves are whole, the flavor is nice and subtle. They’re also **caramelized** a bit before the sauce is made, which brings out a hint of **sweetness** and rounds everything out. I think you’ve just found your new favorite [chicken recipe](https://thecozycook.com/chicken-recipes/). Scroll down to see how it’s made, tips for **perfectly seared chicken**, and other PRO tips\! ## How to Make It *See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.* **Slice the chicken into 3 thinner slices. Season with salt/pepper and Italian seasonings. Dredge in flour/Parmesan cheese mixture. Sear in olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.** **Melt butter in the skillet and use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pot. Add garlic cloves. Cook and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.** ![Seared chicken next to a skillet with fond and butter being melted to make sauce.](https://thecozycook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/How-to-make-Creamy-Garlic-Chicken-1.jpg) **Add flour to the butter mixture and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, beef bouillon cube, and seasonings in splashes. Stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.** ![Adding broth and cream to make creamy garlic sauce.](https://thecozycook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/How-to-make-Creamy-Garlic-Chicken-3.jpg) **Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Add the chicken back and spoon the sauce on top. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with [mashed potatoes](https://thecozycook.com/homemade-mashed-potatoes/)\!** ![Creamy garlic chicken with Parmesan cheese and chicken being added to the sauce.](https://thecozycook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/How-to-make-creamy-garlic-chicken-3.0.jpg) ## Tips For Searing the Chicken - **Adjust the heat up and down slightly throughout the cooking process for a nice even sear and golden color.** - We want brown (not black) remnants left in the pot. The “fond” left in the skillet gives a *lot* of flavor to the sauce. - **I would rather cook chicken at a slightly lower temperature for a longer period of time** than at a super high temperature that can cause burning and oil splatter. Start at medium -high and decrease heat slightly as needed. You can always increase it again later. - **If the chicken is sticking to the pan, it’s not ready to be moved** and is still developing a crispy crust. **Allow it to release on it’s own** to avoid tearing the surface of the chicken. > ## Pro Tips > - If using smaller chicken breasts, consider using 3-4 instead of 2 large. > - Serve this meal with [mashed potatoes](https://thecozycook.com/homemade-mashed-potatoes/) and roasted [vegetables](https://thecozycook.com/roasted-vegetables/) such as [green beans](https://thecozycook.com/roasted-green-beans/). > - **Mushrooms make a great addition to this gravy**, I like to sauté them separately and stir them into the sauce at the very end. Cooking them separately lets them retain their color, texture, and flavor. > - This recipe is in [**The Cozy Cookbook**](https://thecozycook.com/cookbook/) on **page 99\!** ## Storage - Store in an airtight container and **refrigerate for up to 3 days** or **freeze for up to 3 months.** - **This meal does freeze well.** I reheat from frozen in the microwave, you can also thaw overnight and reheat leftovers in a lightly greased, covered casserole dish at 350° for 20-25 minutes.
