Description

A delightful chicken dish enveloped in a spicy, creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce, perfect for cozy evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Crispy fries (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken fillets with salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes per side), then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in Parmesan cheese until it melts and thickens into a rich sauce.
  6. Return the chicken fillets to the skillet, coating them in the sauce, and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve with crispy fries and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Pat chicken fillets dry for better searing and avoid overcrowding in the skillet for even cooking.
