Ingredients
For the Chicken Fillets:
- Chicken fillets – 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- Galic – 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
For the Fries:
- Fries – 1 bag (frozen or homemade, about 32 oz or 900 g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Prepare the fries according to package instructions or bake homemade fries at 425°F (220°C) for 30-35 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken fillets with salt and pepper, then cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute, then add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve the chicken with fries, drizzling the sauce over the chicken and garnishing with chopped parsley.
