A comforting yet fancy dish featuring juicy chicken fillets in a creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce paired with crispy golden fries. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (about 42 g)
  • ¾ cup heavy cream (180 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml) for frying chicken
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or a mix of dried oregano and basil
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut potatoes into ¼ inch (6 mm) thick sticks. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  2. Toss fries with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  3. Season chicken fillets on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 5 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and keep warm.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add softened butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  6. Gradually pour in heavy cream while stirring. Slowly add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until sauce thickens (3-4 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Add water or more cream if sauce is too thick.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over each piece. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.
  8. Serve chicken fillets drizzled with extra sauce alongside crispy fries. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best flavor and avoid burning it. Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking. Let chicken rest before saucing to keep it juicy. Avoid overcrowding fries on baking sheet to ensure crispiness. Sauce can be reheated gently with added cream or water if thickened.
