Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 4 chicken fillets (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Side
- 1 bag fries (frozen or homemade, about 32 oz or 900 g)
Instructions
- Prepare the fries: Cook the fries according to the package instructions if using frozen fries. For homemade fries, bake them at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- Cook the chicken fillets: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken fillets generously with salt and pepper. Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Make the creamy sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and allow to simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Serve: Plate the chicken with a generous amount of sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve alongside the crispy fries for a complete meal.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for desired spiciness.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and smoother sauce.
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a light cream alternative.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Homemade fries can be cut from potatoes and tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking.
