Easy Creamy Garlic Chicken Recipe for Dinner

This easy creamy garlic chicken recipe is a real crowd-pleaser. It features tender chicken in a rich, garlicky sauce that’s perfect over pasta or rice.

Key Ingredients & Tips

• Fresh Garlic: Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; it really makes a difference in this dish.
• Creamy Sauce Base: Heavy cream creates a wonderful, smooth sauce. Remember not to let it boil too vigorously to keep it from separating.

What You Need

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

⏱️ Time: 30 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings

How to Make It

Step 1: Prep Chicken & Garlic

Pat your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Mince your garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 2: Cook Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.

Step 3: Make Garlic Cream Sauce

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 4: Finish Dish

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips or pieces, then add them back to the pan with the sauce. Cook for another minute to warm the chicken through. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

📝 Final Note

This chicken is wonderful served with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite pasta to soak up all that delicious sauce.

Simple Creamy Herb Chicken for Busy Nights

This simple creamy herb chicken recipe is packed with fresh flavors and comes together quickly. It’s a light yet satisfying meal, perfect for any night of the week.

Key Ingredients & Tips

• Fresh Herbs: A mix of fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and oregano brings this dish to life. Dried herbs can work too, but use a smaller amount.
• Sear for Flavor: Getting a good sear on the chicken before making the sauce adds a lot of depth and color to the meal.

What You Need

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano), chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup dry white wine or extra chicken broth
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup fresh spinach (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings

How to Make It

Step 1: Season Chicken

Pat your chicken breasts dry. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and half of your chopped fresh herbs.

Step 2: Sear Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-6 minutes per side until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.

Step 3: Build Herb Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium. Pour in the dry white wine (or extra chicken broth) to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining fresh herbs. Let the sauce thicken gently for 3 minutes. If using, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.

Step 4: Combine & Serve

Slice the chicken and return it to the sauce for a quick warm-up, tossing to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy!

📝 Final Note

This dish is lovely with a side of roasted asparagus or a light green salad for a complete meal.
