Sure! Since you said “This dish is my partner’s weakness; he keeps going back for more” — I’ll assume we’re talking about something irresistibly comforting, rich, and universally loved. So I’ve chosen a dish that almost every partner can’t resist:

Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken — The Ultimate Weakness Dish

🧄 Introduction

There are good meals… then there are weakness meals — the kind that make people abandon self-control and go back for seconds (or thirds) without shame. Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken is exactly that. Tender chicken simmered in a velvety garlic cream sauce, kissed with herbs and melted butter. It’s elegant enough for date night yet comforting enough for a rainy evening in.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp flour (to thicken)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream (or half & half)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ tsp Italian herbs or thyme
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

🔪 Instructions / Method

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in the same pan. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Whisk in flour — cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in cream + broth, stirring until smooth.
  6. Add herbs + Parmesan, simmer 2 minutes.
  7. Return chicken to sauce, cover and cook 5–7 minutes on low until fully coated and tender.
  8. Garnish with parsley. Serve HOT.
