How do you make Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken?

In a large skillet add olive oil and cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate. Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, juice from one lemon, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Whisk in the cornstarch and let simmer for 1-2 minutes over medium high heat until it starts to thicken. Add the chicken back to the pan and serve over pasta if desired.

What Temperature Do You Cook Chicken To?

A meat or instant-read thermometer is your best bet for determining the temperature of your chicken, and if you’re cooking a whole bird, it should be inserted into the thickest part of the thigh but not touching bone. 165 degrees Fahrenheit is the safe internal temperature for both the white meat and dark meat.

What Do You Serve with Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken?

Side Salad Asparagus Broccoli Green Beans Rice Noodles: Linguine or angel hair are my favorite

What Kind of Parmesan Cheese is Best?

This is always a great question! I love to use finely grated (powdered looking) parmesan cheese for this creamy sauce. It is easy to blend with the whisk and it makes a thick, rich and creamy sauce that tastes perfect every time. You are welcome to use shredded parmesan cheese if you prefer. Shredded parmesan cheese will be cheesier and not as thick but still have the delicious flavor.
