Chicken breasts cooked in a creamy garlic parmesan cream sauce. This quick and flavorful one skillet 20-minute dish is great on with pasta or a side of veggies! 
Creamy Parmesan Garlic Chicken Garlic and parmesan are a match made in heaven. I’m addicted to garlic. I love the smell and flavor of garlic simmering in olive oil or butter. There really is no better aroma or flavor. Add parmesan to the fragrant garlic and you’ve got yourself a flavor combo that is out of this world.

This quick and tasty garlic and parmesan chicken is super easy to make so it’s great for busy weeknights when you just need to whip up something fast. It’s all made in one pan in under 20 minutes. The chicken is first cooked in olive oil and seasoned with just salt and pepper. After the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and add some minced garlic to the same pan. Cook the garlic for no more than 30 seconds just to until it begins to turn golden.

The next step is adding the cream, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. I used light cream but heavy cream will work too! If you’re a fan of spinach like we are, toss in a cup of chopped spinach at this point! Simmer the sauce for a few minutes then return the chicken to the pan. Enjoy this creamy chicken on pasta or with a side of veggies!

  1. Yummy and super easy! I added some dry mushrooms and potatoes!

  2. Made it for my boyfriend and we both loved it. I also served it with rice and doubled the parmesan cheese. It was very good!

  3. FIRST, THE TIME MUST BE FROM HAVING EVERYTHING PREPPED AND READY. IN ANY EVENT, IT WAS GOOD, BUT WAY TOO MUCH ITALIAN SEASONING. I’LL CUT IN HALF FOR NEXT TIME. ALSO, VERY RICH, NEXT TIME I’LL USE CHICKEN STOCK INSTEAD OF THE CREAM. Good, and I will make it again.

  4. I served it with wild rice
    LaRGE CAN RICE DRAINED & RINSED, (ALWAYS PERFECT AND HANDY)
    ONION, CELERY & MUSHROOMS, DEGLAZED PAN WITH MARCELA WINE AND BUTTER, MIXED WITH RICE, SALT & PAPPER HEAT IN CASSEROLE WHILE COOKING CHICKEN IN SAME PAN.

    DID NOT CHANGE OR ADD A SINGLE THING TO THIS RECIPE AND THE WOMAN I LOVE AND COOK FOR SOPPED UP EVERY DROP OF THIS SAUSE WITH A CRUSTY BREAD AND BEGGED FOR MORE.
    ONLY CHANGE FOR NEXT TIME WILL BE TO DOUBLE THE RECIPE.
