Tips to Cook Creamy Chicken

Here are quick and easy tips to cook juicy moist and tender chicken breasts.

If you are using frozen chicken breast then bring it to room temperature before cooking.
If the chicken breasts are thick then slice it or simply hammer to make it lean. In this way the chicken will be more tasty after cooking.
Shallow frying of the crispy breasts makes it delicious as the pores of meat closed due to frying that makes the chicken extremely delicious.
If you think the breast is drying while cooking in a garlic sauce then add some broth/stock or water.
Avoid overcooking.
If the chicken breast seems to be hard then simmer in chicken broth for a few minutes. In this way, the chicken will be moist and juicy.
Avoid over frying the chicken.
Control the temperature during frying and simmering.
The addition of double garlic in form of freshly chopped garlic and garlic powder will add a strong garlicky aroma and taste. Over addition can make the taste bitter so use it according to recipe direction.

Serving Idea

Best idea is to serve with dinner rolls or naan bread to make it a complete meal. Garlic butter fried rice pair up well with chicken breasts. On a side, salad, mashed potatoes, simple pasta or noodles goes well. I love to add sauteed mushrooms and fire roasted diced tomatoes or oven roasted carrots. If you like then oven fries is the alternative as it quickly prepare and everyone love to like it.

Try rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or a salad. Sweet corn, carrots, roasted veggies (try my maple roasted carrots and beets), or green beans would also go great.

Q & A

Why Chicken Breast? Can we use Boneless Chicken?

Yes, the boneless chicken chunks can also use to prepare this recipe. The chicken breast becomes juicy and tender while frying so I used the breasts to prepare this creamy chicken. You can apply the same recipe to prepare with boneless chicken. It will have the same taste as with breasts.

How the chicken breast is soft and moist?

Pan frying sealed the chicken juices and simmering on slow heat in garlic yogurt cream sauce makes the chicken tender and juicy and also help to thicken the sauce with velvety texture.

Can I make the garlic chicken sauce in instant pot?

Yes, you can! Pressure cooking always makes chicken more tender and juicy.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt?

You can replace it with plain yogurt, sour cream or simply with cream cheese.
