🥘 Ingredients

닭의 경우:

• 🐔 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
• 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
• ⚫ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 🌿 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 🥄 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 🧈 2 tablespoons butter

For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

• 🧄 다진 마늘 6쪽
• 🥛 진한 크림 1컵
• 🧀 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 🍲 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 🌿 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 🌿 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 🧂 소금과 후추는 취향에 따라 넣어주세요
• 🌱 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 단계별 지침

Prep Work (5 minutes) 🕐

1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If they’re particularly thick (more than 1 inch), gently pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
2. Season generously: Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Don’t be shy with the seasoning – this is where the flavor begins!

Cooking the Chicken (8-10 minutes) 🔥

3. Heat the pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. You’ll know it’s ready when the oil shimmers slightly.
4. Sear the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the hot pan. Here’s the key: don’t move them! Let them sear undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until you get that beautiful golden-brown crust.
5. Flip and finish: Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate. Don’t worry if it looks a bit underdone – it’ll finish cooking in the sauce.

Making the Sauce (10-12 minutes) 🥄

6. Add butter: In the same pan (don’t clean it – those brown bits are pure flavor!), add butter and let it melt.
7. Sauté the garlic: Add minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
8. Build the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add heavy cream, thyme, and oregano. Stir everything together.
9. Add the cheese: Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash more chicken broth.

Bringing It All Together (5 minutes) 🍽️

10. Return the chicken: Nestle the seared chicken back into the pan with the sauce. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the chicken to finish cooking and the flavors to meld.
11. Final touches: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Results

🔥 Don’t overcrowd the pan: If you’re doubling the recipe, cook the chicken in batches to ensure proper searing.

🌡️ Use a meat thermometer: This guarantees perfectly cooked chicken every time. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

🧀 Use fresh Parmesan: Pre-grated cheese doesn’t melt as smoothly. Fresh Parmesan makes all the difference in texture and flavor.

🥛 Room temperature cream: Let your heavy cream come to room temperature before adding it to prevent curdling.

🍲 Don’t skip the deglazing step: Those browned bits add incredible depth to your sauce.

🍽️ 제공 제안

This creamy garlic Parmesan chicken is incredibly versatile! Here are some of my favorite ways to serve it:

🍝 Over pasta: Fettuccine, penne, or even simple spaghetti work beautifully 🍚 With rice: Jasmine rice or wild rice pilaf soak up the sauce perfectly 🥔 Alongside potatoes: Mashed potatoes, roasted fingerlings, or creamy polenta 🥗 With vegetables: Steamed broccoli, roasted asparagus, or a fresh green salad

🔄 레시피 변형

🌶️ Spicy Version

Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes with the garlic for a gentle heat that complements the cream beautifully.

🍄 Mushroom Lover’s

Sauté 8 oz sliced mushrooms after cooking the chicken and before making the sauce. The earthy flavors pair wonderfully with the garlic and Parmesan.

🌿 Herb Garden

Swap the dried herbs for 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs like basil, thyme, and oregano added at the end.

🍋 Lemon Bright

Add the zest of one lemon and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.

📦 Storage and Reheating

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer: This dish can be frozen for up to 2 months, though the sauce may need a good whisk when reheated.

재가열: Warm gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream if the sauce has thickened too much. Avoid the microwave if possible, as it can make the chicken tough.

❓ 자주 묻는 질문

Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts? A: Absolutely! Bone-in, skin-on thighs work wonderfully. Increase cooking time to 6-8 minutes per side.

Q: What if I don’t have heavy cream? A: You can substitute with half-and-half, but the sauce won’t be quite as rich. Avoid milk as it may curdle.

질문: 유제품 없이 만들 수 있나요? A: Try using coconut cream and nutritional yeast instead of heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.

Q: How do I prevent the sauce from breaking? A: Keep the heat at medium-low when adding the cream and cheese, and whisk constantly.

🏆 Why This Recipe Works
