How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

Serve this over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up every drop of sauce — a side of steamed green beans or a simple salad rounds it out perfectly. For a low-carb option, try it with zucchini noodles or cauliflower mash.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce — avoid the microwave, which can make the chicken tough.

Chicken Breasts in Creamy Garlic Sauce

Juicy, golden chicken breasts simmered in a rich, velvety garlic cream sauce that clings to every slice. It's the kind of dinner that feels fancy but comes together in one skillet, and my family asks for it at least once a week.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove and set aside on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, scraping up any browned bits.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer, then whisk in Parmesan and Italian seasoning until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reheat, then garnish with parsley and serve.

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

For extra-thick sauce, let it bubble a minute longer, or thin it with a splash of broth if it gets too thick. Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container, and you can freeze the sauce (without chicken) for up to 2 months.
