⭐🍗 THE TREASURED RECIPE – CREAMY GARLIC CHICKEN

(Restaurant-quality flavor, simple ingredients, unforgettable creamy garlic sauce.)

🧄 Ingredients (4 servings)

For the Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 4–6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter (extra)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional for color)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • Spinach (a handful)
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Fresh parsley for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the chicken beautifully

Generously season chicken on both sides with:

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder

Let rest 10 minutes so the seasoning absorbs well.

2. Sear the chicken to golden perfection

  1. Heat olive oil + 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. When sizzling, add the chicken.
  3. Sear 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

This step builds the deep flavor foundation for the creamy sauce.

3. Make the treasured creamy garlic sauce

In the same skillet:

  1. Add 1 tbsp butter.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30–40 seconds until fragrant
    (don’t brown it — keep it pale for sweet garlic flavor).
  3. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the brown bits from the bottom.
  4. Add heavy cream, stirring slowly.
  5. Mix in:
    • Parmesan
    • Italian seasoning
    • Paprika (optional)
  6. Simmer gently 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

The sauce should look glossy, creamy, and smooth.

4. Bring it all together

Place the chicken back into the pan.

  • Spoon creamy garlic sauce over it
  • Cover and let simmer 5–7 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the sauce becomes silky and rich

If adding mushrooms or spinach, add them now.

5. Taste & Perfect

Adjust:

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Parmesan

If you want a thinner sauce → add a splash of broth
If you want thicker → simmer uncovered 2 extra minutes

6. Serve Like a Treasure
