Chicken is a great source of lean protein, which supports muscle growth and helps keep you full. And you can also use skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. By using light cream or Greek yogurt, you can make the sauce creamy without adding too much fat, making it a perfect addition to your favorite chicken dish. This dish is quick to prepare and great for busy days when you want something delicious without spending hours in the kitchen.

It’s also kid-friendly and can be adjusted to suit different tastes. Creamy Chicken is not just tasty—it’s a balanced dish that brings comfort and nutrition together.

Let’s start with boneless chicken thighs that are fried in olive oil until golden brown, or you can also use skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option.

We’ll use heavy cream – for a super creamy and flavorful sauce. I love boneless and skinless chicken thighs, but I also enjoy cooking with chicken breast for variety. They are so tasty and easy to cook!

How to Make Creamy Garlic Creamy Garlic Chicken Recipe with Sun Dried Tomatoes

Season the boneless and skinless chicken thighs with pepper and salt, and don’t forget to add the garlic for extra flavor.

Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess flour before cooking the chicken to achieve a crispy coating.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken thighs until browned on each side. Transfer to a plate, making sure to include a generous portion of the creamy sauce drizzled over the chicken.

Saute the garlic until it’s fragrant. Add the chicken stock and deglaze the pan scraping any bits stuck.

Then add the heavy cream to the skillet, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened slightly, creating a creamy texture for your chicken dish.

Return chicken to the pan, add the sun-dried tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to your taste, and let it thicken for a few more minutes to create a rich sauce.
