Creamy Garlic Butter Parmesan Chicken Recipe
After making this recipe, it quickly became one of my favourites as it is so creamy and delicious. The tender, juicy chicken with a golden colour is just perfect for a relaxed weekend dinner.
Also, the heavy cream lemon sauce adds such a rich tangy flavour to the chicken. This recipe doesn't need any special ingredients; however, it still is one of the best and quickest ways to cook a flavorful chicken dish.
You only need a pan and a few ingredients that you will definitely find in your kitchen. For this recipe, I used chicken breasts; however, you can use any other part of the chicken, preferably a boneless part as is easier to cook and absorb the sauce.
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts: I used chicken breasts in this recipe. I actually tried it before with thighs, but I didn't like it.
- Seasonings: I used paprika, ground black pepper and salt.
- Butter: To cook the chicken.
- Heavy cream: For a rich and creamy dish.
- Chicken broth: I used homemade chicken broth.
- Parmesan: I love parmesan but you may add crème fraiche instead.
- Garlic: to flavor my dish.
- Lemon
- Fresh thyme

How To serve
Serve this dish with No-Noodle Eggplant Lasagna, Beef And Kimchi Fried Rice, Veggie Egg Fried Rice or Baked Chicken And Rice for dinner.
I like to serve it with Pasta With Breadcrumbs, Angel Hair Pasta, Creamy Bbq Chicken Pasta or Marmite Pasta for lunch.
Storage
To store: Put leftover chicken and sauce in a container in the fridge. It will last for 3-4 days.
To freeze: This Creamy chicken freezes so well; keep it in the freezer for 1-2 months.
Reheating: to reheat this creamy chicken, pop it in the microwave or on the stovetop. I also, recommend adding just 1-2 tablespoons of water before reheating.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can. Put the chicken and sauce in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is tender and the sauce is bubbling.
Use a sharp knife and slice the chicken breast against the grain lengthwise to the thickness that you like.
