Meta Title	Creamy Garlic Chicken Recipe
Meta Description	Once cooked, garlic offers a sweetness to this creamy garlic chicken dish instead of a pungent bite. The creamy sauce is so good, you'll want to spoon it over everything.
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Each bite of creamy garlic chicken is savory and rich—and you'll be surprised that something so simple could be this good. The chicken remains tender and moist, as it has a bit of a protective crust from the light flour coating. The whole garlic cloves serve as occasional bites of sweet, soft allium flavor, while minced garlic permeates and perfumes the entirety of the sauce with stronger garlic notes. One large garlic head should provide enough cloves for this dish (you’ll need 12 total). Many garlic chicken recipes call for garlic powder, but instead of going that route, we used minced garlic for a sharper garlic bite. You’re already working with lots of fresh garlic, so why not continue with fresh cloves and mince them? Recipe Tips for Creamy Garlic Chicken Look for chicken breasts that are about the same size (sometimes you’ll get one giant one and one shrimpy one in the same pack). Cutting large breasts into cutlets also makes them a more manageable size for eating, and it makes them thinner so they cook more evenly. And you don’t have to pound them. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. Reheat single servings in a covered microwave-safe dish for 2 to 3 minutes. We don't recommend freezing this; the cream sauce might separate when it thaws. If your whole garlic cloves are particularly large, cut them in half so they’ll be sure to cook through. You are intended to eat the whole garlic cloves; after cooking, they become softer in texture and flavor (similar to roasted garlic ’s mellowness). Substitutions for Creamy Garlic Chicken If you’d like a thicker sauce, stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon flour whisked with 2 tablespoons water or chicken broth; boil for a couple of minutes, until the sauce thickens. For a richer dish, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. Serve with something that will ensure none of the sauce goes to waste. Mashed potatoes, rice, couscous, or quinoa would be great.

The chicken remains tender and moist, as it has a bit of a protective crust from the light flour coating. The [whole garlic cloves](https://www.southernliving.com/what-is-a-clove-of-garlic-8716585) serve as occasional bites of sweet, soft allium flavor, while [minced garlic](https://www.southernliving.com/what-is-jarred-garlic-8726391) permeates and perfumes the entirety of the sauce with stronger garlic notes. One large garlic head should provide enough cloves for this dish (you’ll need 12 total). Many garlic chicken recipes call for garlic powder, but instead of going that route, we used minced garlic for a sharper garlic bite. You’re already working with lots of fresh garlic, so why not continue with [fresh cloves](https://www.southernliving.com/garlic-recipes-7481760) and mince them? ## Recipe Tips for Creamy Garlic Chicken - Look for chicken breasts that are about the same size (sometimes you’ll get one giant one and one shrimpy one in the same pack). - Cutting large breasts into cutlets also makes them a more manageable size for eating, and it makes them thinner so they cook more evenly. And you don’t have to pound them. - Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. - Reheat single servings in a covered microwave-safe dish for 2 to 3 minutes. - We don't recommend freezing this; the cream sauce might separate when it thaws. - If your whole garlic cloves are particularly large, cut them in half so they’ll be sure to cook through. - You are intended to eat the whole garlic cloves; after cooking, they become softer in texture and flavor (similar to [roasted garlic](https://www.southernliving.com/roasted-garlic-8742729)’s mellowness). ## Substitutions for Creamy Garlic Chicken - If you’d like a thicker sauce, stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon flour whisked with 2 tablespoons water or chicken broth; boil for a couple of minutes, until the sauce thickens. - For a richer dish, you can use [boneless, skinless chicken thighs](https://www.southernliving.com/boneless-chicken-thigh-recipes-6531514) instead of breasts. - Serve with something that will ensure none of the sauce goes to waste. Mashed potatoes, rice, couscous, or quinoa would be great. ### Never Lose A Favorite Recipe Again With MyRecipes, your personal recipe box, you can save and organize your Southern Living favorites and thousands more in one place. Keep Screen Awake ## Ingredients - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb.) - 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided - 3/4 tsp. black pepper, divided - 2 Tbsp. olive oil - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour - 2 Tbsp. butter - 10 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole - 2 garlic cloves, minced - 3/4 cup unsalted chicken stock - 1 tsp. Italian seasoning - 1 tsp. white wine vinegar - 2/3 cup heavy cream - Chopped fresh parsley (optional) ## Directions 1. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Working with 1 breast at a time, use a sharp knife to cut breast horizontally in half (parallel to cutting board) to create 4 chicken cutlets. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. ![Southern Living Creamy Garlic Chicken making the chicken breasts into cutlets]() ![Southern Living Creamy Garlic Chicken making the chicken breasts into cutlets](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/RxYGR4gAMjYt7_xrnz9Zeh-FieE=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/Creamy_Garlic_Chicken_002-750c3ee5d65547d0ae8cdce5c9259c14.jpg) Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox 2.

Readable Markdown	Each bite of creamy garlic chicken is savory and rich—and you'll be surprised that something so simple could be this good. The chicken remains tender and moist, as it has a bit of a protective crust from the light flour coating. The [whole garlic cloves](https://www.southernliving.com/what-is-a-clove-of-garlic-8716585) serve as occasional bites of sweet, soft allium flavor, while [minced garlic](https://www.southernliving.com/what-is-jarred-garlic-8726391) permeates and perfumes the entirety of the sauce with stronger garlic notes. One large garlic head should provide enough cloves for this dish (you’ll need 12 total). Many garlic chicken recipes call for garlic powder, but instead of going that route, we used minced garlic for a sharper garlic bite. You’re already working with lots of fresh garlic, so why not continue with [fresh cloves](https://www.southernliving.com/garlic-recipes-7481760) and mince them? ## Recipe Tips for Creamy Garlic Chicken - Look for chicken breasts that are about the same size (sometimes you’ll get one giant one and one shrimpy one in the same pack). - Cutting large breasts into cutlets also makes them a more manageable size for eating, and it makes them thinner so they cook more evenly. And you don’t have to pound them. - Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. - Reheat single servings in a covered microwave-safe dish for 2 to 3 minutes. - We don't recommend freezing this; the cream sauce might separate when it thaws. - If your whole garlic cloves are particularly large, cut them in half so they’ll be sure to cook through. - You are intended to eat the whole garlic cloves; after cooking, they become softer in texture and flavor (similar to [roasted garlic](https://www.southernliving.com/roasted-garlic-8742729)’s mellowness). ## Substitutions for Creamy Garlic Chicken - If you’d like a thicker sauce, stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon flour whisked with 2 tablespoons water or chicken broth; boil for a couple of minutes, until the sauce thickens. - For a richer dish, you can use [boneless, skinless chicken thighs](https://www.southernliving.com/boneless-chicken-thigh-recipes-6531514) instead of breasts. - Serve with something that will ensure none of the sauce goes to waste. Mashed potatoes, rice, couscous, or quinoa would be great. ### Never Lose A Favorite Recipe Again With MyRecipes, your personal recipe box, you can save and organize your Southern Living favorites and thousands more in one place.
