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. Youâre 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. Theyâre also
caramelized
a bit before the sauce is made, which brings out a hint of
sweetness
and rounds everything out.
I think youâve just found your new favorite
chicken recipe
. Scroll down to see how itâs 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.Â
Melt butter in the skillet and use a silicone spatula to âcleanâ 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 âfondâ 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, itâs not ready to be moved
and is still developing a crispy crust.
Allow it to release on itâs 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 sautĂŠ them separately and stir them into the sauce at the very end. Â 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.

This is the Le Creuset skillet
I used in this recipe, (and in 90% of my recipes). Itâs pricey, but it conducts heat really well and is oven safe. The size is perfect and the quality is great.
Garlic Peeler
â Makes it really easy to peel a lot of garlic all at once in seconds. Easy to store and clean too!
Kitchen Tongs
â makes it easy to handle the chicken when searing and even easier to flip individual mushroom slices as they cook.

## 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. Youâre 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. Theyâre also **caramelized** a bit before the sauce is made, which brings out a hint of **sweetness** and rounds everything out.
I think youâve just found your new favorite [chicken recipe](https://thecozycook.com/chicken-recipes/). Scroll down to see how itâs 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 âcleanâ 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](https://thecozycook.com/homemade-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 âfondâ 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, itâs not ready to be moved** and is still developing a crispy crust. **Allow it to release on itâs 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 sautĂŠ 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.

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.
#### Chicken
- â˘
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- â˘
Salt/Pepper
- â˘
3 teaspoons Italian seasonings
- â˘
â
cup flour
- â˘
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded

2 ½ cups chicken broth
- â˘
1 beef bouillon cube , or 1 tsp better than bouillon

½ teaspoon **EACH:** Dried thyme, mustard powder
- â˘
3 tablespoons butter
- â˘
10 whole cloves garlic
- â˘
3 tablespoons flour
- â˘
½ cup heavy cream
- â˘
½ cup Parmesan cheese, (optional)
#### Prep Work:
- **Combine the chicken broth, bouillon cube, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme** in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside.
- **Combine flour and Parmesan cheese** on a plate and **measure out remaining ingredients** prior to beginning.

- **Season each side with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture** and tap off excess.
- **Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side,** until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.
#### Make the Sauce:
