Description

This Spicy Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Fillet with Fries recipe offers a deliciously rich and flavorful chicken dish paired perfectly with crispy fries. The chicken fillets are pan-seared to golden perfection and coated in a luscious garlic Parmesan cream sauce with a hint of heat from red pepper flakes, making it an irresistible meal for any occasion.


Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g) chicken fillets
  • 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
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Fries

  • 1 bag of fries (frozen or homemade, about 32 oz or 900 g)


Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Cook the Chicken Fillets: 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).
  3. Make the Garlic Parmesan 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.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: 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.
  5. Serve: Plate the chicken alongside the fries, drizzle additional sauce over the chicken, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your desired spice level.
  • Homemade fries can be baked or air fried as preferred.
  • For a lower fat version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a lighter cream alternative.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
