4 cloves garlic, minced
08 -
1 cup heavy cream
09 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
10 -
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
# Steps:
01 -
In a bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
02 -
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400–450°F (204–232°C).
03 -
Grill the marinated chicken for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
04 -
While the chicken is grilling, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
05 -
Add the heavy cream and whisk to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
06 -
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for 1–2 more minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
07 -
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
08 -
Serve immediately with preferred side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or crusty bread.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
You can substitute the grill with a large skillet over high heat if grilling is not an option.
02 -
Adjust sauce thickness by simmering longer for a thicker texture or adding cream for a thinner consistency.
03 -
To ensure chicken is fully cooked, check that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
