Garlic Cream Sauce over Chicken Breasts Recipe

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
teaspoon salt
teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
cup chicken broth
cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened

Directions

Step 1: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2: Season the chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper on both sides.

Step 3: Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165F (74C). Remove the chicken from the grill and set it aside to keep warm.

Step 4: While the chicken is cooking, heat butter and vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add chopped garlic and saut for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 5: Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute until fully incorporated.

Step 6: Slowly add the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 7: Stir in Parmesan cheese and cream cheese. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until both cheeses have fully melted into the sauce.

Step 8: Spoon the creamy Parmesan sauce over the grilled chicken breasts. Serve the remaining sauce on the side for dipping or additional pouring.

Absolutely scrumptious! I prepared the chicken in the oven along with rice and drizzled the sauce over the top. I covered it with foil and baked it at 350 degrees for 1 hour. The rice turned out exceptionally tasty. Next time, I plan to experiment by adding noodles to see which combination I prefer. My husband raved that it was sinfully delicious.

I tried out the sauce recipe, but I doubled the quantities and included lemon juice and green onions. Additionally, I prepared Tuscan marinated chicken, grilled it to perfection, and served it alongside a delightful Normandy blend of vegetables including squash, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. The blend of these three elements created an exquisite flavor experience. My husband even remarked that he felt as though he was dining in a high-end restaurant.

Absolutely amazing! I followed the directions the first time and it turned out great. Then, I decided to make it again with some modifications. I pan-seared the chicken and then used the same pan to prepare the sauce. I cooked some fettuccine, mixed it with the sauce, and topped it with sliced chicken and Parmesan cheese. Personally, I think I enjoyed the modified version more, although the original recipe was also quite delicious.

My wife and I adored this dish! Following a recommendation from another reviewer, I opted for 1/3 fat cream cheese and fat-free half & half. We enjoy garlic, so I added 3 teaspoons of chopped garlic. The sauce is so flavorful that it can easily be paired with pasta in future dishes.

Fantastic for a speedy meal! The only adjustments I made were using 1% milk instead of heavy cream, but it turned out incredibly delicious! I also included parsley in the chicken seasoning for an extra flavor kick.

I added some sautéed mushrooms and a splash of the chicken broth from the bottom of the pot to the sauce, along with a hint of fresh ginger.

This experience was quite disappointing. Despite high expectations from the reviews, the sauce was underwhelming, resembling a basic Alfredo sauce. Paired with unremarkable chicken, the dish fell short of my hopes. I do not plan on preparing this again.

I really enjoy this simple recipe. My tip would be to halve the ingredients if you're using it as a sauce for cooked chicken, and to make the full recipe if you're using it as a cooking ingredient.
