🍗 LOW CARB CREAMY GARLIC CHICKEN

Servings: 3–4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

⭐ Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 large chicken breasts (cut horizontally into 4 thin fillets)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

3 tablespoons butter
5–6 garlic cloves, minced
¾ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
¼ cup chicken broth
¼ cup grated parmesan
½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (or oregano)
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Season the Chicken

Season the chicken fillets with:

salt
pepper
paprika
garlic powder

Rub evenly on both sides.

2. Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken fillets and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
Remove chicken and set aside.

Tip: Don’t overcook — they will finish cooking in the sauce.

3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

In the same skillet, lower heat to medium.
Add butter and let it melt.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and let it simmer 1 minute.
Add heavy cream and parmesan.
Stir continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Add chili flakes, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.

Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken.

4. Add Chicken Back

Return chicken fillets to the skillet.
Spoon sauce over the chicken.
Let simmer for another 3–5 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce thickens beautifully.

5. Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Serve hot with low-carb sides such as:

sautéed spinach
zucchini noodles
cauliflower mash
roasted broccoli
cauliflower rice

💡 Tips for Perfect Creamy Chicken

Heavy cream thickens best; don’t substitute with milk.
Don’t boil the sauce — simmer gently.
Let the sauce thicken naturally; it gets creamier as it reduces.
Slice chicken into thin fillets so it cooks evenly.

⭐ Flavor Variations

Add sun-dried tomatoes for an Italian twist
Add mushrooms for depth
Add lemon juice for brightness
Replace parmesan with cream cheese for extra thickness

🥘 Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days.
Reheat on low heat with a splash of broth or cream.
