Recipe Tips

•

To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken steaks to an even thickness before searing. This helps them cook uniformly, preventing dry edges while the center remains undercooked.

•

When making the creamy sauce, add the minced garlic to the pan after removing the chicken to avoid burning it. Garlic can turn bitter if cooked too long, so sauté it for just 1-2 minutes until fragrant before adding the cream.

•

Avoid overcooking the chicken by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the pan when it’s just done and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for heavy cream in this recipe?

You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a combination of milk and butter (use 3/4 cup of milk with 1/4 cup melted butter) for a lighter version. For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream or a cashew cream.

How should I store leftover creamy garlic chicken?

Store leftover creamy garlic chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or chicken broth if the sauce has thickened.

What can I do if my sauce is too thin?

If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) and cooking for an additional few minutes. Alternatively, allow the sauce to simmer longer until it reduces to your desired consistency.
