Ingredients You'll Need
This recipe serves four people and uses everyday ingredients that work together to create a seriously satisfying meal.
600–700 g boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 small brown onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons plain flour
1½ cups Made by Cow Cold Pressed Raw Milk
½ cup chicken stock
⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness
A little kitchen tip: Chicken thighs are fantastic if you prefer juicy, tender pieces, while chicken breast is a great option if you enjoy a leaner cut. Both work beautifully in this recipe.
How to Make the Creamiest Garlic Chicken
Step 1: Give Your Chicken a Golden Crust
Season your chicken with salt, pepper and half the Italian herbs.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for approximately 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Don't worry about the golden bits left in the pan. Those little flavour-packed pieces are exactly what we want.
Step 2: Let the Garlic Work Its Magic
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, stir in the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
Your kitchen should smell pretty incredible by now. If someone suddenly wanders in asking what's cooking, just tell them dinner is under control.
Step 3: Build That Beautifully Creamy Sauce
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring continuously for about a minute.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock, followed by the Made by Cow Cold Pressed Raw Milk, whisking as you go to keep the sauce smooth.
Stir in the remaining Italian herbs and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring regularly, until it begins to thicken.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
The secret is gentle heat. Avoid boiling the sauce vigorously, as this can affect its texture. If it becomes too thick, add a small splash of stock until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Step 4: Bring Everything Together
Return the chicken to the pan, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over each piece.
Let everything simmer gently for another 2–3 minutes so the flavours come together. Check that the chicken has reached a safe internal temperature of 75°C before serving.
Finish with freshly chopped parsley and, if you like a little brightness to balance the richness, a squeeze of lemon juice.
And just like that, dinner is served!
What to Serve With Creamy Chicken
Now for the fun part: choosing your sides.
Here are a few delicious pairings to make this meal even better.
Creamy mashed potatoes: Perfect for soaking up every bit of that garlic sauce.
Steamed greens: Broccoli, green beans or asparagus add freshness and colour.
