Description
This Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a creamy, savory skillet dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich sauce made with garlic, white wine, Parmesan cheese, and cream. Perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ chicken bouillon cube
- ½ teaspoon each: onion powder, oregano, basil, parsley
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large measuring cup, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner pieces. Pound to ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken in batches for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Turn off heat and add white wine to skillet. Return heat to medium, scrape up browned bits, and simmer to reduce wine by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add butter and let it melt. Sprinkle in flour and whisk to form a roux.
- Gradually add sauce mixture in small splashes, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 8 minutes.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over top, and heat through for a few minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve with desired sides.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms or eggplant.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and smooth texture.
- To avoid wine, substitute with equal amount of chicken broth.
- Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
