Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 1/2 pound chicken fillets
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Side and Garnish
- 1 bag fries (about 32 ounce)
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Bake or fry the fries according to the package directions or your preferred method until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Season and Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken fillets for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic and Simmer Sauce: In the same pan, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add red pepper flakes, then pour in heavy cream. Allow sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
- Add Parmesan and Combine: Reduce heat to low, stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is smooth. Return chicken to pan and simmer in sauce for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Plate and Serve: Place chicken fillets on plates, spoon creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce over the top, and arrange crispy fries alongside.
- Garnish: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the chicken and sauce before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fries with a green salad or steamed vegetables for a lighter option.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- The sauce can be made gluten-free if using gluten-free fries and checking Parmesan for additives.
