Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken: An Easy One-Pan Dinner

Easy Recipe Variations

The basic recipe can be customized depending on the ingredients you have available.

Creamy spinach chicken

Add two cups of fresh baby spinach after the Parmesan has melted. Stir gently until the leaves have wilted, then return the chicken to the skillet.

Garlic mushroom chicken

Cook approximately eight ounces of sliced mushrooms after removing the chicken. Once the mushrooms are browned and tender, add the garlic and continue with the recipe.

Sun-dried tomato chicken

Add ⅓ cup of drained, sliced sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. Their slightly tangy flavor works especially well with garlic and Parmesan.

Spicy Parmesan chicken

Add ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the garlic. Increase or decrease the amount depending on how much heat you prefer.

Chicken thighs

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can replace the chicken breasts. Their cooking time may differ, so confirm doneness with a food thermometer.
