    After making this recipe, it quickly became one of my favourites as it always leaves me wanting more. The tender, juicy chicken with a golden colour is just the perfect menu for a relaxed weekend dinner. 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 some common ingredients that you will definitely find in your kitchen.

    You can have this creamy garlic parmesan chicken alongside some roast vegetables, or if you're not on a keto diet, you can have rice, pasta or some mashed potatoes. I usually have some roasted veggies as they go well with the aromatic herbs in this recipe.

    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.
