This creamy garlic chicken recipe features tender chicken breasts smothered in a rich and flavorful creamy garlic sauce, making it the ultimate easy comfort food.
1: Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets.
2: Sprinkle them with some salt & pepper and coat them in the flour.
3: Add the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat.
4: Once the pan is hot, sauté the chicken for 4-5 minutes/side or until it's golden.
5: Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
6: Reduce the heat to medium and add the rest of the butter to the pan.
7: Let the butter melt and then add the garlic cloves. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned.
8: Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic powder to the pan and let bubble for 4 minutes until reduced.
9: Stir in the cream and add the chicken back into the pan.
10: Let it cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced and the chicken is cooked through.
11: Serve with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
