Day 5 of easy meals for busy people: a delicious creamy garlic smothered chicken recipe perfect for a quick dinner. Features pan-fried chicken breasts in a rich, savory Parmesan sauce.
1. Slice the chicken breasts in half vertically to make thin cuts. Mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pat chicken dry and coat in mixture.
2. Fry chicken in an oiled pan on medium-high heat for a couple of minutes on each side. Towards the end, add some butter to baste. Season more here if desired. Remove, cover, and set aside.
3. In the same pan, fry the onions on medium heat for a few minutes until soft and clear. Add in garlic and sauté for a couple more minutes. Add in flour to make a roux.
4. Slowly add the chicken broth a bit at a time. Next, add in half and half and mix together. Season and, off heat, add the parmigiano reggiano.
5. Add the chicken back to the pan in the sauce. Add parsley on top and more parm if desired. Serve over rice, potatoes, or pasta. Enjoy!
