Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
-
1 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
-
1/2 cup butter
-
1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken thoroughly and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
-
Prepare Garlic Parmesan Sauce: In a pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic. Stir in parmesan and cream to create a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
-
Apply Sauce: During the last minute of grilling, brush the chicken with the garlic parmesan sauce to create a golden, crispy layer.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For juicier chicken, use thighs instead of breasts.
You can make the sauce spicier by adding red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
If marinating in advance, bring chicken to room temperature before grilling.
