Instructions
- Finely mince 2 garlic cloves. If the other cloves are extra large, gently smash them with the side of a chef's knife by placing the knife on a clove and pressing down.
- Dry the chicken with a paper towel and then season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and pat it down so it is evenly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden on both sides, about 8-10 minutes total. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and oil to the pan. Add the whole or smashed garlic cloves and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring several times. Reduce the heat to medium-low if the garlic starts to brown too quickly. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour the wine into the pan and scrape the bottom to remove any stuck-on bits. Add the chicken stock and bring the pan to a simmer for 5 minutes to cook the garlic.
- Add the whipping cream, seared chicken, and any accumulated pan juices and bring to a simmer. Simmer for another 5-8 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked. Stir in the parmesan and then garnish with some fresh thyme, minced parsley, or chives.
Notes
- Note 1: This recipe isn't as crazy garlicky as you'd think. There are three whole cloves per serving, plus two to flavor the sauce.
- Note 2: If you have large chicken breasts, use two and cut them in half vertically so that you have four pieces.
- Note 3: If you're avoiding alcohol, you can substitute the wine for more chicken stock.
- Note 4: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken stock. If it's too thin, boil it for another minute.
- Note 5: This is a great meal to serve with mashed potatoes as the sauce makes a flavorful gravy.
