Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Main Ingredients

  • 4 chicken fillets (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Sauce Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Sides and Garnish

  • 1 bag fries (frozen or homemade, about 32 oz or 900 g)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fries: Cook the fries following the package instructions if using frozen, or bake homemade fries at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Cook the chicken fillets: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken fillets evenly with salt and pepper. Cook them for 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet with the residual oil and chicken drippings, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burned.
  4. Make the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring and bringing it to a gentle simmer. Then add the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
  5. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken fillets to the skillet. Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken and let everything simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce coats the chicken well.
  6. Serve: Plate the chicken fillets with a generous drizzle of the garlic-Parmesan sauce on top. Serve alongside the crispy fries, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • Ensure not to burn the garlic to prevent bitterness.
  • You can use fresh Parmesan for better flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
  • Homemade fries can be seasoned with paprika or garlic powder for extra taste.
  • Chicken can be substituted with turkey breast fillets for a variation.
