    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

    lemon chicken marinade
    • 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.

    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.

    How to cut chicken breasts into cutlets?

    Use a sharp knife and slice the chicken breast against the grain lengthwise to the thickness that you like.
