🔥 Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken (The Dish That Starts Fights & Ends Friendships)

📖 Introduction

There are meals you enjoy… and then there are meals you pledge allegiance to.
This Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is the kind of dish that ruins restaurant expectations, makes your neighbors jealous, and has been scientifically proven (by absolutely nobody) to cause heated debates between steak-lovers and sauce-addicts.
It’s rich. It’s velvety. It’s outrageously comforting. And yes—it might just be better than a perfectly grilled steak.

  • 4 chicken breasts (or thighs for extra tenderness)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  5. Marry the flavors:
    • Return chicken to the sauce.
    • Simmer 10–15 minutes until thick and glossy.
  6. Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
