Method
 

How to Make Chicken Fillet in Spicy Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce
  1. Pat the chicken fillets dry using paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour in the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken fillets and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic to the residual oil. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly golden.
  4. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring gently as you bring it to a gentle simmer. Add in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
  5. Return the cooked chicken fillets to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot alongside your favorite sides.
