Here are some handy tips and notes to make sure your Creamy Garlic & Paprika Chicken turns out perfectly every time:

Chicken Breasts: For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking. This helps ensure they cook through without drying out.
Smoky Paprika: Smoked paprika adds a deep, smoky flavour to the dish, but if you prefer a milder taste, you can use sweet paprika instead.
Garlic: Fresh garlic is key to getting that rich, aromatic flavour. Mince it finely or crush it for a more intense taste.
Cream: Heavy cream gives the sauce a luscious, velvety texture. If you’re after a lighter option, you can substitute it with half-and-half, but the sauce might be a bit thinner.
Deglazing: After browning the chicken, make sure to deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken broth or white wine. This will lift all those tasty browned bits off the bottom of the pan and add even more flavour to your sauce.
Simmering: Once the cream is added, keep the heat low to prevent the sauce from breaking. A gentle simmer will help it thicken nicely without curdling.
Herbs: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme on top before serving adds a bright, fresh finish to the dish.
Serving Suggestions: Serve this dish over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up all that creamy goodness. A side of steamed green veggies like broccoli or green beans complements the rich sauce perfectly.
Leftovers: This dish reheats well, making it a great option for meal prep. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 2-3 days.

Happy cooking!
