Chicken in Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce: Your New Favorite Dinner
Why This Sauce is Irresistible
Before diving into the recipe, let’s talk about the star: the sauce. This sauce is a luscious blend of:
-
Garlic — deeply aromatic and flavorful, sautéed just right
-
Cream and Parmesan cheese — for richness, a perfect balance of creaminess and sharp, nutty flavor
-
Butter and 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.
