    This creamy garlic chicken recipe is the ultimate easy comfort food! Tender chicken breast smothered in a creamy garlic sauce is irresistible. Garlic lovers unite!

    This creamy garlic chicken is ready in about 30 minutes. In my opinion, it's good enough to serve company, but it's also one of those dishes that work for a quick weeknight dinner.

    A quick note on the recipe: Yes, I include both garlic powder and an entire head of garlic in this recipe... it's not a typo. Believe it or not, the garlic cloves themselves don't make the sauce ridiculously garlicky. The flavor of garlic powder is slightly different than the fresh cloves. I'm going for all-out depth of garlic flavor here without making it overpowering.

    If you've never really cooked with whole garlic cloves before, don't worry. Cooking them in the sauce mellows them right out... it's nothing like biting into raw garlic haha.

    How to make creamy garlic chicken (overview):

    Start by cutting the chicken breasts in half lengthwise (the chicken cooks faster and more evenly, so it remains tender and melt-in-your-mouth). You then dredge the chicken pieces in flour and pan-fry them until they're golden, then take them out of the skillet. In the same pan, lightly brown the garlic cloves and make the sauce. The chicken goes back in for a few more minutes to finish cooking, and the sauce thickens up. (Full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below)

    Recipe notes & tips:

    • Sub the cream at your own discretion. If you use something like milk or half-and-half, the sauce may curdle (due to the high heat) and end up thinner. I recommend reading through the reader comments - there's tons of tips from readers who have tweaked this recipe to their liking.
    • I use boneless/skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. You may sub for chicken thighs, but keep in mind those may take a bit longer to cook.
    • Chicken is safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 165F (the chicken's temperature will continue to rise for a few minutes after you take it off the heat). Using an instant read meat thermometer will prevent undercooked or overcooked chicken.

    A note on peeling the garlic:

    You don't have to spend a lot time peeling the garlic cloves. One quick way I recommend is by using this silicone garlic peeler tube (I have a similar one) or by buying garlic cloves that are already peeled if you really want to save a bit of time. I usually just use my knife (here's a quick video tutorial on how if you're curious).

    What to serve with creamy garlic chicken:

    Try rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or a salad. Sweet corn, carrots, roasted veggies (try my maple roasted carrots and beets), or green beans would also go great.

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
    • Flour for dredging
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons butter divided
    • 1 whole head garlic cloves peeled
    • 1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
    • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
    • Salt & pepper to taste
    • Parsley chopped (optional)

    Instructions
     

    • Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets. Sprinkle them with some salt & pepper and coat them in the flour. 
    • Add the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. 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 (or even med-low if using cast iron), 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 broth, lemon juice, and garlic powder to the pan. Let it bubble for around 4 minutes or until the liquid is noticeably reduced. 
    • Stir in the cream and add the chicken back into the pan. Let it cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the sauce is reduced and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with freshly chopped parsley if you wish.

    Notes

    • I used my trusty 10-1/4" Lodge cast iron skillet to make this recipe. Any skillet is fine, though.
    • I recommend using fairly large boneless/skinless chicken breasts for this recipe since we're cutting them in half lengthwise. If you have smaller ones, use 4 of them and leave them intact.
    • If your garlic cloves are particularly gigantic like some of mine were, feel free to cut them in half so they're all roughly the same size.

      I made this with homemade mashed potatoes and green beans. It was so bland. Used huge garlic cloves and barely taste them. Needs something. Pepper. Spice. Something. Not for me.

        Hi! You could try, but I would definitely reduce the heat a bit. It'll also be a thicker and more tangy sauce, but I think it could still be good. You could probably then omit the lemon juice. Enjoy!

      I don’t think I’ve ever left a review on a blog post recipe, but DANG! This chicken is incredible! The only change I made was I subbed Chardonnay for the chicken broth. It’s DEFINITELY going to be made again! My friends said it’s the best meal I’ve cooked for them (I made Pioneer Woman’s crash potatoes, and some roasted zucchini and green beans with Parmesan) and I’ve cooked many meals for them. Thanks so much for this scrumptious chicken recipe!

      I'll be the first to admit it, I don't measure anything. I used chopped garlic from a jar, a lot more lemon than called for, etc., and this was outrageously delicious. I used so much lemon juice that I felt the need to add a little honey, too. Regardless, this is a FABULOUS combination of ingredients! Highly recommended!!

      I have made this dish twice now. Absolutely gorgeous and so easy. The first time it was perfect but the second time the sauce seemed to split towards the end. Perhaps I over cooked the sauce or put too much oil in. I am not a cook so I wouldn’t know what I technically did wrong. Going to make this for 10 people for my birthday meal so hoping it turns out well. I’m going to make it in advance, perhaps in 2 batches and then reheat the next day. Do you think that will work? I have seen your previous reply to say heat slowly. Thinking due to the quantity I could reheat in the oven. Can’t wait for my friends reactions to this delicious recipe.

        Hi Brian!! I'm so glad you like this recipe. So, the sauce can split if the cream % isn't high enough (look for at least 36% fat), or if it's cooked too long at too high a heat. That's so nice you've chosen this for your birthday meal! 🙂 I think you should be ok making it in two batches. Yes, reheat in the oven slowly over a low heat. I'm a little worried the chicken may dry out (and yes the sauce can curdle), so keep an eye on it. You might want to have some extra cream on hand to add to it if you notice the sauce has reduced a bit too much.

        Hi! So, with creamy sauces you need to be careful and reheat over a low heat so they don't separate, and chicken breasts can also get overcooked in a hurry if you're not careful. So, you can, but it's not something I typically recommend, but if you do go that route, low heat is your friend.

        Hi! I'm glad you like it! Hmmmm maybe cook it down a bit longer? Are you sure you're using heavy cream vs. half-and-half or something with a lower fat content? Make sure you do step 4 until the liquid is reduced by at least half - that should definitely help. So the chicken doesn't go tough, I'd let the sauce reduce until it's almost as thick as you want it, and then do the 5 minutes (ish) to finish cooking the chicken and see how it goes.

      Made this chicken last night. It was great! I had thin chicken breasts, seasoned them and let them sit for a short time before dredging in flour. The sauce was creamy and flavorful!! Made a lemon capellini pasta as a side dish that went well with the garlicky chicken and sauce.
      Will definitely make again.

        Hello! So for any recipe that calls for dry white wine, look for a pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, or chardonnay. Those are types of wines (not specific brands). I am not a huge wine drinker myself, so I usually buy what's on sale haha. Oyster Bay is a brand we sometimes buy.

            I list both because you can use either/or (and here in Canada it's easier to find whipping cream than heavy cream), and sometimes you'll even see "heavy whipping cream" in some places to add a further layer of confusion lol. As long as it's 36% fat or higher, you're good to go. Hope you enjoy the recipe, Rufina!

        Hi Debbie, I personally recommend using cream (and that's how I've tested the recipe to ensure it works). You'd have to tweak the recipe to get the sauce thick enough (like make a roux). There's tons of comments on this recipe... so I recommend looking through and seeing what others have done and that may give you some ideas on what has worked.

        Hi! It would be a very different recipe. I don't recommend pressure cooking cream... this isn't really the type of recipe that needs a pressure cooker. Stews and soups and those types of things can benefit from the high heat of pressure cooking.

      Tried this yesterday and it was a hit with my family! My 8 year old son can’t stop raving about it! This will definitely be a staple in our menu as it’s really delicious! I posted a photo on FB and I already have 60 likes so far. 🙂

      One of my all time favorite chicken dishes. I follow the recipe as is but when doing the sauce with the whipping cream and chicken broth I add mushrooms to sauté and it’s incredible you can also do spinach as well. This dish over creamy pasta is what I always serve to guest

      Natasha, THANK YOU! Winner winner, chicken dinner! I made the sauce, threw it with the braised chicken into a Le Creuset Casserole and baked at 350F for 20-25 minutes. Served it with roasted Butternut Squash, yup, still have a bunch from last Falls haul, and Butter Garlic Rice (from Cooking Classy Blog). Perfectly satisfying dinner!
      Thank you, again.

        Excellent flavor and very easy. I had some mushrooms in my fridge I needed to use so sliced them I threw them in with the garlic after I browned it for a couple of minutes first. I did have issues with my garlic getting tender, even though they were all smaller than average cloves (it may have been an issue with the variety of garlic) so next time I think I will rough chop them first but otherwise absolutely delicious and definitely a keeper!

          I'm glad you enjoyed it, Cheryl!! Hmm... that's interesting about the garlic. Yes, could possibly be the variety. But yes, chopping it will work too.

      I am not a cook, and being on my own now and away from my mother — I’ve certainly been missing her home cooked meals. This dish brought happiness to my heart. Reminiscense of my mother’s cooking came to mind with every bite. It was very much effortless to make and the savor gave me pure joy.
      Thank you for your recipe. I am now encouraged to make more meals that are out of my comfort zone.

      So tasty! I've made this recipe loads of times for my family and everyone loves it! I tweaked it slightly, where once everything is browned off and the sauce is made I pop everything into a casserole dish and then put it in the oven on 170c for approx 30 mins and it comes out so creamy and the chicken is so soft 😋

      The only thing I would like to ask is, does this recipe freeze well?

        Love that!! I'm glad it's a favorite in your home. 🙂 I haven't tested freezing this, but typically cream sauces don't freeze well. They tend to separate. I'd also worry the chicken would get overcooked/rubbery after freezing, thawing, and then heating again. But it wouldn't hurt to try if you have some left over.

      Great recipe! I added a little more seasoning(garlic salt, oinion powder, and more garlic powder) and used minced garlic. Can you tell I’m a huge garlic fan?lol Also threw in bacon and broccoli. Kids and husband loved it! Thanks for a great recipe!

        Hi! You may want to look through the comments to see what others have done. I'd probably just skip the flour. You may need to let the sauce reduce for a bit longer to get it to your desired thickness.

      I’m a one-person household. Shirt of cutting the recipe in half, can it be frozen? It looks so good but 4 servings is too much.

        Hi Nicole! I'd probably cut it in half (you could keep the sauce the same to make it easy, then you'd also get lots of sauce haha). The trouble with cream sauces is they just don't tend to freeze/thaw so great in general. If you do try freezing it, I'd warm it up slowly on a low heat.

        May 8, 2021 at 9:52 AM

        Hi Joyce! There's a chance it'll curdle, so I would add it in right at the end like you would when making Stroganoff (make sure the chicken is cooked). It'll also change the flavor.

      So easy. And tasted great. I buy my garlic prepeeled in a big tub so I probably used more than one head but the mash balanced it out. I diced the chicken and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing
