Ingredients
- Chicken fillets – 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- Garlic – 4 cloves, minced
- Heavy cream – 1 cup (240 ml)
- Parmesan cheese – 1 cup, grated
- Red pepper flakes – 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
- Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
- Salt – to taste
- Pepper – to taste
- Fresh parsley – for garnish, chopped
- Fries – 1 bag (frozen or homemade, about 32 oz or 900 g)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the fries. Bake or fry the fries according to the package directions or your preferred method until they are golden and crispy. Set the fries aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
2. Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the red pepper flakes, then pour in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it’s melted and the sauce has reached the desired consistency. Return the seared chicken fillets to the pan and let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through.
5. To serve, place the chicken fillets on a plate and spoon the creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce over the top. Arrange the crispy fries alongside the chicken, creating a mouthwatering and visually appealing presentation.
6. Finish the dish by garnishing it with a sprinkle of fresh, chopped parsley. You can also add an extra grating of Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of the sauce over the fries for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
This dish pairs well with various sides. You can serve it over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables. Adding a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top can enhance the presentation. A side salad or garlic bread can also complement the meal nicely.
