I will take this part of chicken cut over any other, any day and time. This chicken thigh recipe says that all,\nstovetop chicken thighs\n,\ngarlic chicken thighs\nand\nhoney mustard chicken\n.\nSometimes, I make an exception and cook with chicken breasts.  Truth be told, I am not really a fan and it is the most expensive part of a chicken cut and also, the easiest to make a mess with if not cooked right. This is the reason I cook it in a creamy sauce or other types of sauce like this instant pot\nchicken curry\nto make it moist and flavourful.\nBack to today’s\ncreamy garlic chicken\nbreast recipe, if you love\ngarlic\nand I mean a whole lot of it then you are in luck.

Perfect easy and quick chicken breast recipes for dinner.\nThe recipe is versatile. The simple creamy garlic sauce can be a base to many add-ins. I added spinach to the pan sauce but you can use other add-ins of choice. I love using fresh and roasted tomatoes, especially in summer. You can use mushrooms or cheese.\nYou can substitute the heavy cream for light version or even use evaporated milk.\nHow to flatten chicken breasts\nThis is simply the process of flattening chicken breasts so it cooks faster, not dry out, and remain tender. \nIt can be done in many ways but these two methods are mostly used and they are quite easy too.\nPlace the chicken in between parchment paper or a Ziploc bag, working your way from the middle of the chicken, gently pound it with a kitchen mallet or rolling pin until the desired flatness is achieved\nor\nPlace the chicken breast on a chopping board. Secure the chicken with your palm, using a sharp knife, and cut the chicken in the middle lengthwise\/horizontally.\nBe careful not to cut yourself in the process. This method does require a little bit of practice but can be easily done especially if you are using a fairly large chicken breast.\nIngredients\nSkinless boneless chicken breasts\n: substitute for boneless chicken thighs\nGarlic cloves\n: peeled, sliced, and ready to go\nDouble cream:\nsubstitute with half and half, single cream or evaporated milk\nPaprika\nGarlic salt\nand\nblack pepper\nto taste\nChicken broth\nButter\n; I mostly use slightly salted butter and adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly.\nOlive oil\n: substitute for any other flavorless cooking oil of choice.\nRed pepper flakes:\nThis is optional if you don’t like it spicy but recommended for a bit of kick to balance out the creamy taste of the double or single cream.\nHow to make creamy garlic chicken\nSeason both sides of the chicken cutlets with garlic salt, black pepper and paprika\nHeat up olive oil in a non-stick pan or a skillet over medium high heat until hot. add the seasoned chicken carefully to the hot oil and sear on both for 3 to 4 minutes. transfer the seared chicken to a plate and set it aside.\nReduce the heat and melt some butter in the hot pan, add the sliced garlic and sauté for about  2 minutes or until fragrant, be careful not to burn the garlic.\nAdd chicken broth and stir to combine scraping every brown bit at the bottom of the pan. Stir in the  cream and mix to combine, bring to a gentle simmer for about 3 minutes.\nReturn the seared chicken into the sauce and continue to cook for another 5 minutes flipping the chicken once so all the sides are covered with the creamy sauce. Finally, add the spinach to the pan, stir into the sauce, taste the sauce for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly. Take it off the heat and serve immediately.\nTip\nIf you would like the sauce thicker, make cornflour slurry with 1 tablespoon of cornflour and 2 tablespoons of water or the creamy sauce. Mix until cornflour is completely dissolved, stir it to the creamy sauce and continue to cook for another minute or two or until it thickens to your liking.\nHow to serve with creamy garlic chicken\nI love to serve it with\ncoconut rice\n,\nmashed potatoes\n, in tortilla wraps and a side of veggies like this\nroasted broccoli and cauliflower\nor\nfrozen roasted broccoli\n.\nHow to store\nThis creamy garlic chicken makes a great leftover, although, I will be surprised if you have any left.\nI wouldn’t keep it in the\nfridge\nfor more than 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. Ensure it is completely cooled. It can be eaten cold especially with salad or in wraps or as a sandwich filling.\nTo reheat:\nI personally prefer to let the chicken come to room temperature and warm over the stove on low-medium heat. You can also microwave it too, I just think this chicken recipe is best eaten fresh and any leftovers can be used as a sandwich filling or with salad.\nMore chicken recipes\nInstant pot chicken and rice\nInstant pot garlic lemon chicken\nIf you made this easy creamy chicken breast recipe, don’t forget to leave me feedback.

I will take this part of chicken cut over any other, any day and time. This chicken thigh recipe says that all, [stovetop chicken thighs](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/perfect-stove-top-chicken-thighs/), [garlic chicken thighs](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/garlic-chicken-thighs/) and [honey mustard chicken](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/honey-mustard-chicken-thighs/). Sometimes, I make an exception and cook with chicken breasts. Truth be told, I am not really a fan and it is the most expensive part of a chicken cut and also, the easiest to make a mess with if not cooked right. This is the reason I cook it in a creamy sauce or other types of sauce like this instant pot [chicken curry](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/instant-pot-butter-chicken-curry/) to make it moist and flavourful. ![creamy sauce over chicken breasts.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20900'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![creamy sauce over chicken breasts.](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/IMG_8145.jpg) Back to today’s creamy garlic chicken breast recipe, if you love garlic and I mean a whole lot of it then you are in luck.

It can be done in many ways but these two methods are mostly used and they are quite easy too. Place the chicken in between parchment paper or a Ziploc bag, working your way from the middle of the chicken, gently pound it with a kitchen mallet or rolling pin until the desired flatness is achieved or Place the chicken breast on a chopping board. Secure the chicken with your palm, using a sharp knife, and cut the chicken in the middle lengthwise/horizontally. Be careful not to cut yourself in the process. This method does require a little bit of practice but can be easily done especially if you are using a fairly large chicken breast. ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20900'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-6.jpg) ## Ingredients Skinless boneless chicken breasts: substitute for boneless chicken thighs Garlic cloves: peeled, sliced, and ready to go Double cream: substitute with half and half, single cream or evaporated milk Paprika Garlic salt and black pepper to taste Chicken broth Butter; I mostly use slightly salted butter and adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly. Olive oil: substitute for any other flavorless cooking oil of choice. Red pepper flakes: This is optional if you don’t like it spicy but recommended for a bit of kick to balance out the creamy taste of the double or single cream. ![ingredients.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20759'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![ingredients.](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-17.jpg) ## How to make creamy garlic chicken Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with garlic salt, black pepper and paprika ![seasoned chicken breast.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20400'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![seasoned chicken breast.](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-18.jpg) Heat up olive oil in a non-stick pan or a skillet over medium high heat until hot. add the seasoned chicken carefully to the hot oil and sear on both for 3 to 4 minutes. transfer the seared chicken to a plate and set it aside. ![searing chicken in a ](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20400'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![searing chicken in a ](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-19.jpg) Reduce the heat and melt some butter in the hot pan, add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes or until fragrant, be careful not to burn the garlic. ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20400'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-21.jpg) Add chicken broth and stir to combine scraping every brown bit at the bottom of the pan.

I wouldn’t keep it in the fridge for more than 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. Ensure it is completely cooled. It can be eaten cold especially with salad or in wraps or as a sandwich filling. To reheat: I personally prefer to let the chicken come to room temperature and warm over the stove on low-medium heat. You can also microwave it too, I just think this chicken recipe is best eaten fresh and any leftovers can be used as a sandwich filling or with salad. ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20900'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-16.jpg) ### More chicken recipes [Instant pot chicken and rice](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/pressure-cooker-rice-and-chicken/) [Instant pot garlic lemon chicken](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/instant-pot-chicken-legs-lemon-garlic-chicken/) If you made this easy creamy chicken breast recipe, don’t forget to leave me feedback.

Yes, you can freeze this creamy chicken, However, because of the cream, the texture of the sauce may change slightly when reheating but that shouldn’t affect the taste. Kindly let me know how it turns out when you do try it. Thank you [Reply](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/creamy-garlic-chicken-recipe/#comment-10238) 2.

I will take this part of chicken cut over any other, any day and time. This chicken thigh recipe says that all, [stovetop chicken thighs](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/perfect-stove-top-chicken-thighs/), [garlic chicken thighs](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/garlic-chicken-thighs/) and [honey mustard chicken](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/honey-mustard-chicken-thighs/). Sometimes, I make an exception and cook with chicken breasts. Truth be told, I am not really a fan and it is the most expensive part of a chicken cut and also, the easiest to make a mess with if not cooked right. This is the reason I cook it in a creamy sauce or other types of sauce like this instant pot [chicken curry](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/instant-pot-butter-chicken-curry/) to make it moist and flavourful. ![creamy sauce over chicken breasts.](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/IMG_8145.jpg) Back to today’s creamy garlic chicken breast recipe, if you love garlic and I mean a whole lot of it then you are in luck.

It can be done in many ways but these two methods are mostly used and they are quite easy too. Place the chicken in between parchment paper or a Ziploc bag, working your way from the middle of the chicken, gently pound it with a kitchen mallet or rolling pin until the desired flatness is achieved or Place the chicken breast on a chopping board. Secure the chicken with your palm, using a sharp knife, and cut the chicken in the middle lengthwise/horizontally. Be careful not to cut yourself in the process. This method does require a little bit of practice but can be easily done especially if you are using a fairly large chicken breast. ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-6.jpg) ## Ingredients Skinless boneless chicken breasts: substitute for boneless chicken thighs Garlic cloves: peeled, sliced, and ready to go Double cream: substitute with half and half, single cream or evaporated milk Paprika Garlic salt and black pepper to taste Chicken broth Butter; I mostly use slightly salted butter and adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly. Olive oil: substitute for any other flavorless cooking oil of choice. Red pepper flakes: This is optional if you don’t like it spicy but recommended for a bit of kick to balance out the creamy taste of the double or single cream. ![ingredients.](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-17.jpg) ## How to make creamy garlic chicken Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with garlic salt, black pepper and paprika ![seasoned chicken breast.](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-18.jpg) Heat up olive oil in a non-stick pan or a skillet over medium high heat until hot. add the seasoned chicken carefully to the hot oil and sear on both for 3 to 4 minutes. transfer the seared chicken to a plate and set it aside. ![searing chicken in a ](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-19.jpg) Reduce the heat and melt some butter in the hot pan, add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes or until fragrant, be careful not to burn the garlic. ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-21.jpg) Add chicken broth and stir to combine scraping every brown bit at the bottom of the pan.

Finally, add the spinach to the pan, stir into the sauce, taste the sauce for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly. Take it off the heat and serve immediately. - ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-24.jpg) - ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-25.jpg) Tip If you would like the sauce thicker, make cornflour slurry with 1 tablespoon of cornflour and 2 tablespoons of water or the creamy sauce. Mix until cornflour is completely dissolved, stir it to the creamy sauce and continue to cook for another minute or two or until it thickens to your liking. ## How to serve with creamy garlic chicken I love to serve it with [coconut rice](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/instant-pot-coconut-rice-recipe/), [mashed potatoes](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/instant-pot-mashed-potatoes/), in tortilla wraps and a side of veggies like this [roasted broccoli and cauliflower](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/roasted-broccoli-and-cauliflower-recipe/) or [frozen roasted broccoli](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/oven-roasted-frozen-broccoli/). ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-11.jpg) ## How to store This creamy garlic chicken makes a great leftover, although, I will be surprised if you have any left. I wouldn’t keep it in the fridge for more than 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. Ensure it is completely cooled. It can be eaten cold especially with salad or in wraps or as a sandwich filling. To reheat: I personally prefer to let the chicken come to room temperature and warm over the stove on low-medium heat. You can also microwave it too, I just think this chicken recipe is best eaten fresh and any leftovers can be used as a sandwich filling or with salad. ![](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/creamy-garlic-chicken-img-16.jpg) ### More chicken recipes [Instant pot chicken and rice](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/pressure-cooker-rice-and-chicken/) [Instant pot garlic lemon chicken](https://www.thedinnerbite.com/instant-pot-chicken-legs-lemon-garlic-chicken/) If you made this easy creamy chicken breast recipe, don’t forget to leave me feedback.
