Preparing Chicken Fillet in Spicy, Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Sauce with Fries
Here’s how this dish comes together: You’ll start by searing the chicken to achieve a gorgeous golden crust. Then, you’ll whip up a rich, creamy sauce that’s bursting with garlic and parmesan goodness. The final touch is returning the chicken to the skillet to soak in all those delicious flavors. It sounds mouthwatering, right?
What you’ll need
Gather these items to create your meal:
- 2 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 and pepper to taste
- Fries (frozen or homemade)
You can easily substitute the chicken fillets with turkey or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
Directions to follow
- Begin by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season your chicken fillets with salt and pepper before placing them in the skillet. Cook each side for about 6-7 minutes until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In that same skillet, add the minced garlic, sautéing it until fragrant, roughly 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring it well to blend.
- Now, add the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, making sure to coat it well with the creamy sauce.
- Serve hot alongside crispy fries.
How to plate and pair
To elevate your dining experience, consider plating the dish on a large platter with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color. Serve the chicken drizzled with that luscious sauce alongside a generous portion of fries. For added flair, you might want to include a light salad or steamed vegetables on the side.
