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 for frozen fries or bake homemade fries at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Cook the Chicken: Season chicken fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the fillets for 6-7 minutes per side until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking until the sauce slightly thickens, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and heat through.
- Serve: Plate the chicken with fries on the side, drizzle the sauce over the chicken, and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Opt for fresh garlic and high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less red pepper flakes to suit your taste.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.
- Presentation matters: arrange the chicken and fries neatly and garnish generously for an appealing dish.
