Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring continuously.
- Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Sprinkle in Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Step 4: Combine Everything
- Return the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables to the skillet.
- Coat everything evenly with the creamy sauce.
- Let it simmer together for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5: Serve
- Transfer the chicken, vegetables, and sauce to a plate or bowl.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete, hearty meal.
Tips to Keep It Exciting Daily
- Change the veggies: Try asparagus, zucchini, or spinach for variety.
- Switch the protein: Use shrimp, turkey, or tofu instead of chicken.
- Add a kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the sauce.
- Make it lighter: Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangy version.
This dish strikes the perfect balance between indulgence and health, making it the ideal meal to enjoy day after day without ever getting bored. Creamy, garlicky, cheesy, and full of colorful vegetables, it’s comfort food at its best—but still fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor.
If you want, I can also create a one-pan version that’s even faster to make and perfect for weeknight dinners, keeping the “eat daily without boredom” vibe.
Do you want me to do that?
