8. Add the finishing touches
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the optional lemon juice for a subtle touch of freshness.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and spoon additional sauce on top before serving.
Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
What to Serve With Garlic Parmesan Chicken
This chicken is versatile and can be served with many different side dishes.
Pasta
Serve the chicken over fettuccine, spaghetti, penne, or another pasta you enjoy. Add a small amount of pasta water if you need to loosen the sauce before combining it with the noodles.
Mashed potatoes
Creamy mashed potatoes are perfect for absorbing the garlic Parmesan sauce. Roasted baby potatoes are another excellent choice if you prefer a crisp texture.
Rice
White rice, brown rice, or seasoned rice can turn the chicken into a filling and practical dinner. Spoon the sauce generously over the rice before serving.
Vegetables
Try steamed broccoli, roasted asparagus, green beans, peas, zucchini, or Brussels sprouts. The freshness of the vegetables balances the richness of the cream sauce.
Bread
Crusty bread, homemade dinner rolls, or garlic bread can be used to collect every bit of sauce from the plate.
Salad
A simple salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette provides a refreshing contrast to the warm chicken.
