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 brown.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F or 74°C).
- Make the Sauce: Using the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and simmer together for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and ensure the chicken is heated through.
- Serve: Plate the chicken alongside the fries, drizzle additional sauce over the chicken, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a beautiful finish.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Opt for fresh garlic and high-quality Parmesan cheese to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Allow the chicken to rest briefly before serving to retain its juiciness.
- Pay attention to presentation by arranging the chicken and fries attractively and garnishing with fresh parsley for an appealing look.
