Scale
Chicken Fillets:
- 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g) chicken fillets
Spicy Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Sauce:
- 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 and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- 1 bag of fries (frozen or homemade, about 32 oz or 900 g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Follow package instructions for frozen fries or bake homemade fries at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the fillets for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking and stirring until the sauce slightly thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and reheat the chicken.
- Serve: Plate the chicken fillets, drizzle generously with the creamy sauce, add crispy fries on the side, and garnish with chopped parsley for freshness.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Opt for fresh garlic and high-quality Parmesan for a richer flavor.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control spice level.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain juiciness.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or fresh herbs like basil or thyme.
