Ingredients in Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Here’s what you need to make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken:

Chicken breasts: Use 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. Make sure they’re fresh and of good quality for the juiciest, most tender results. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer a richer flavor.
Smoked paprika: Add 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika for a warm, smoky depth of flavor that enhances the chicken’s seasoning.
Onion granules: Use 1 tablespoon of onion granules to give a subtle yet distinct oniony sweetness that blends beautifully with the other spices.
Garlic granules: A tablespoon of garlic granules infuses the chicken with bold, savory garlic notes, complementing the fresh garlic in the sauce.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper: Season to taste to bring out the natural flavors of the chicken and balance the richness of the sauce.
Shallot: Use 1 finely chopped shallot for a mild, slightly sweet onion flavor that adds complexity to the sauce without overpowering it.
Garlic cloves: You’ll need 3 garlic cloves, crushed, for a robust and aromatic base to the creamy sauce. Fresh garlic is essential for that vibrant, irresistible flavor.
Single cream: Add 125ml of single cream to create a silky, luscious texture in the sauce without making it overly heavy.
Chicken stock: Use 200ml of hot chicken stock to bring a savory depth to the sauce and keep it perfectly balanced. A high-quality stock or homemade broth will enhance the flavor even more.
Parmesan: You’ll need 25g of finely grated Parmesan cheese. This adds a nutty, salty richness to the sauce that ties all the flavors together.
