Appsolutely delicious and easy to make. I had skinless bone in chicken breasts that I used. I followed the recipe pretty well to the T but my husband suggested putting in some blue cheese also.
I also used cast iron fry pan. I am planning on serving for Sunday noon meal. Could I brown the chicken, make the sauce and pu in the fridge the night before? Then all I would have to do is pop it in the oven to bake? Used half and half cuz this recipe has wicked fat in it. Which, of course makes it so yummy. Made fresh green beans mixed with bacon I sauteed with onion and a little zesty Italian dressing drizzled in.
The bacon and caramelized onion in the beans was an excellent compliment to the chicken. I added 2 large sliced mushroom to the garlic and sauteed for 1 minute. It added just enough of flavor without overpowering the sauce. This creamy parmesan chicken was soooo good! I served it along side risotto and a green salad.

I made this with 3 lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs.
The sauce was to die for. Since I didn’t need a ton of sauce for the rice, I was able to freeze some a lot of the extra sauce. Had enough for two adult dinners and two lunches the next day. Used half and half since that is what I had. Also added some grated part, I love cheese.
