Creamy Garlic Chicken

March 10, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This chicken dish is a delicious and quick dinner time option. It seems like a lot of garlic but the garlic flavour from the garlic cloves becomes quite mellow as they cook in the sauce.

If you want to cook this only on the cooker then smack the chicken breasts out to make them thinner. Then in the final step, instead of finishing in the oven just finish on the ring for 5-10 minutes.

If you want a less creamy sauce use all milk instead of cream. Alternatively use all cream if you want an even creamier sauce.

Creamy Garlic Chicken

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Flour for dredging
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 whole head garlic cloves
  • 100 ml chicken stock
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 100 ml cream
  • 100 ml milk
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with some salt & pepper and coat them in the flour.
  • Separate the garlic cloves and remove the skin. You will be using them whole.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C
  • Add the rapeseed oil and 1 tbsp of the butter to a frying pan. Once the pan is hot, sauté the chicken for 4-5 minutes/side or until it's nice and golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and add the rest of the butter to the pan. Let it melt and then add the garlic cloves. Cook them for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until they're lightly browned on the outside.
  • Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, mustard and garlic powder to the pan. Let it bubble for around 4 minutes or until the liquid is noticeably reduced.
  • Stir in the milk and cream and add the chicken back into the pan. Move to a preheated oven and cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or roasted baby potatoes and some steamed vegetables.
