Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 head garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup heavy or whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
- to taste salt & pepper
- as needed flour for dredging
- chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by cutting the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create smaller cutlets.
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Sauté the chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set aside on a plate to rest.
- Lower the heat and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Cook the peeled garlic cloves for about 3-4 minutes until lightly golden.
- Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Cook for about 4 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the cream to the pan, stir well, and then return the chicken to the pan. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Serving
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve the Garlic Chicken over rice, pasta, or alongside vegetables.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently to restore the creamy sauce. You can also freeze for up to 2-3 months.
