Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Why This Sauce Is Irresistible
Before diving into the recipe, let’s talk about the star — the sauce!
It’s a luscious, silky blend of:
Garlic — deeply aromatic and flavorful, sautéed to perfection.
Cream & Parmesan cheese — for richness and a perfect balance of creaminess and sharp, nutty flavor.
Butter & herbs — to round out and deepen the taste.
A touch of white wine or broth — to add complexity and keep it from being too heavy.
Every bite is silky, flavorful, and perfectly coats the tender chicken.
