Description

A rich and flavorful keto chicken dish coated in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce—low in carbs and perfect for a satisfying dinner. This recipe features tender chicken breasts cooked in a luscious blend of heavy cream, parmesan cheese, garlic, and Italian seasoning, delivering a comforting, cheesy sauce that pairs wonderfully with low-carb side dishes.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring the fats are melted and combined evenly for cooking the chicken.
  2. Season the chicken: While the skillet is warming, season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor throughout the cooking process.
  3. Cook the chicken: Place the chicken into the hot skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
  4. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned, which infuses the oil and butter with garlic flavor.
  5. Make the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to combine with the garlic-infused fats.
  6. Add cheese and seasoning: Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, continuing to cook on low heat until the sauce thickens slightly and the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
  7. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them to coat thoroughly, and let everything simmer together for 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
  8. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Serve this dish with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal.
  • Using chicken thighs instead of breasts will yield juicier, more flavorful results.
  • Keep the heat low when simmering the cream sauce to avoid curdling.
