Easy Prep Guide
- Final Piece:
- Slide the cooked chicken back in and coat it in that awesome creamy pan goodness.

- Sauce Time:
- Pour in your parmesan and cream, then stir until you get a silky smooth sauce.

- Chicken Step:
- Pound out the breasts for evenness, season, then cook till the outsides are a little crispy.
My grandma used to say you can’t rush a real garlic cream sauce. Let each piece do its thing so that flavor comes out right before you move on.
Tasty Sides
Toss it on pasta, scoop it with buttery mashed potatoes, or go light with cauliflower rice. Add a chunk of baguette to soak up that delicious sauce—or stay healthy and serve with sweet roasted veggies.
Yummy Twists
Try sliced mushrooms for an earthy boost, sun-dried tomatoes for a tart kick, or splash in white wine for extra depth. Want some fire? Shake in red pepper flakes or up the creaminess with a spoonful of cream cheese.
Stay Delicious
Pop leftovers in a sealed container and stash in the fridge for up to three days. To warm up, use a pan on the stove with a little cream so the sauce stays creamy. Skip the microwave since it can make your sauce separate.
