One Pan Creamy Garlic Chicken
One Pan Creamy Garlic Chicken
Deliciousness is one pan! The simple sauce is so creamy and the chicken is very succulent. Mild enough for the whole family – you’ll love it!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken fillets small
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 shallots finely sliced
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 2 cups spinach
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated, plus extra to serve
- 1/3 cup parsley leaves finely chopped
Instructions
- Place the chicken fillets, garlic powder, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a bowl and mix well.
- Place a large frying pan over medium–high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and half the butter and heat for 30 seconds. Add the chicken fillets and cook each side for about 5–6 minutes. If the chicken starts to burn on the outside, turn the heat down to low. Remove the chicken and place on a plate.
- To the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining butter. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Then add the flour and stir through for 2–3 minutes so the flour cooks out. Add the chicken stock and cream and whisk for a couple of minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir through the spinach and parmesan.
- Place the chicken fillets back into the pan, and push them down so most of the fillets are submerged in the sauce. Turn the heat down to low and cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Add some extra parmesan and chopped parsley. Season well.
- Serve on pasta or mashed potato with a side of green beans or a crunchy green salad.
