Creamy Garlic Smothered Chicken

Creamy garlic smothered chicken is one of my all time favourite go to meals. It’s fairly easy and you can combine it with multiple different sides. This dish features golden crispy chicken smothered in a creamy garlic sauce, topped with parmesan, red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley.

Info and tips

One lazy trick I use frequently when I’m frying chicken is using mayo, flour, and seasonings.

The first step is to cut your chicken into thin cutlets, making four even sized pieces. The next thing I like to do is cover the chicken breasts with a little bit of mayo. This helps the seasonings stick to the chicken. I find that mayo is a great binder and colours the chicken a beautiful brown. Just dip your chicken in the flour and seasoning mixture on both sides and you’re good to fry.

You can serve creamy garlic smothered chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or any other side you desire!

4. In the same pan add the onions, cook for a couple minutes until soft. Add in the garlic and cook for one minutes until fragrant. Add the butter. Once melted add the flour and mix until thick.
5. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Once simmering add the heavy cream.
