Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a savory and creamy dish that combines tender chicken breasts with a rich, garlicky Parmesan sauce. Perfect for cozy dinners, this dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and is easy to prepare.

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups chicken broth

¼ cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1 teaspoon honey

½ chicken bouillon cube

½ teaspoon EACH: onion powder, oregano, basil, parsley

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salt/Pepper

2 teaspoons parsley

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

¾ cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc)

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside. Measure out the remaining ingredients before beginning.
  2. Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Cover with plastic wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound to ½-inch thickness.
  3. Season each side of the chicken with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Set aside.
  5. Turn off the heat, add the white wine, and set the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the skillet, ensuring the fond adds more flavor to the sauce. Bring the wine to a gentle bubble and reduce for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the liquid reduces by half.
  7. Add the butter and flour, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  8. Gradually add the sauce mixture, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 8 minutes until the sauce reduces.
  9. Lower the heat and gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously. Stir in the lemon juice.
  10. Add the chicken back to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Heat for 5 minutes or until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Garnish with parsley.
  11. Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables of your choice!

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with extra chicken broth.
  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer or add a bit more flour if needed.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan works best for the sauce compared to pre-grated cheese.
  • This dish can be made ahead and reheated, but it's best to store the sauce separately.
