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 if using frozen fries. If making homemade fries, bake them at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken fillets evenly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until the fillets are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and gently simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken fillets to the skillet, spoon the creamy sauce over them, and simmer together for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Serve: Plate the chicken with fries on the side, drizzle more sauce over the chicken, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe doneness.
- Opt for fresh garlic and high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor impact.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.
- Present the dish attractively by garnishing with parsley and arranging fries neatly.
