Easy Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a rich and flavorful dish that combines tender chicken breasts with a luscious garlic parmesan sauce. The chicken is first seared to a golden brown, locking in its juices, then simmered in a velvety sauce made from fresh garlic, heavy cream, and a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese. This creamy sauce envelops the chicken, infusing it with savory flavors and a hint of garlic. Garnished with fresh herbs, this dish is perfect for a comforting dinner, pairing beautifully with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side of steamed vegetables.
