Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and paprika. (2 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the prepared seasoning mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, approximately 7-8 minutes.

05

Step

Push the chicken to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the now-empty space. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.

06

Step

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the melted butter and garlic, creating a rich, creamy sauce. (1 minute)

07

Step

Move the chicken back into the center of the skillet and stir to coat each piece evenly with the creamy garlic butter sauce. (1 minute)

08

Step

Serve immediately over your choice of pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear and prevent sticking.
Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your personal preference. Freshly minced garlic is highly recommended for the best flavor.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to thin it out.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

  • Madge Bashirian

    My family absolutely loved this dish! I served it over pasta with a side of broccoli. Will definitely be making this again.

  • Mozelle Kirlin

    I found that the chicken cooked a little faster than the recipe stated, so I would recommend keeping a close eye on it to avoid overcooking.

  • Wilfredo Hettinger

    This recipe was so easy to follow and the chicken came out incredibly tender and flavorful!

  • Ransom Williamson

    I didn't have heavy cream on hand, so I used half-and-half instead. It still turned out great, but the sauce was a bit thinner.

  • Lorna Mannconnelly

    The garlic flavor is amazing! I used roasted garlic for an even richer taste.
