Buttery Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Buttery Garlic Parmesan Chicken – amazing skillet chicken with garlic and Parmesan cheese. Made with simple ingredients but SO good!
Servings: 3 people
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. (750g) chicken thighs skin-on and deboned
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 20 cloves garlic peeled and gently smashed
- 1/4 cup white wine beer, or champagne
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and add a little butter. Pan-fry the chicken skin side down until both surfaces are crispy and nicely browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining melted butter and sauté the garlic until light brown. Return the chicken to the skillet, followed by the white wine and water. Lower the heat and let it simmer. Add salt to taste and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
- Reduce the sauce slightly, then add the chopped parsley and top the chicken with Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and broil the chicken in the oven until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.
Notes
You may use bone-in chicken thighs, but for best results, debone the chicken thighs but keep the skin on. If you don't have wine, skip it and use 1/2 cup water instead of 1/4 cup. You may melt the cheese by covering the skillet for a little bit until the cheese melts. You don't have to broil the chicken in the oven but broiling makes it better and also char the skin a little bit.
