Garlic and butter do wonders to simple ingredients, and there is no exception to chicken. The key is to make a delicious sauce and chicken broth plus heavy whipping cream will be your answer to this recipe.

TIPS ON HOW TO COOK CREAMY GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN

• Use your favorite chicken parts. I like chicken quarters as they are juicier. Cut up the thighs and drumsticks so it takes shorter time to cook through the chicken.
• Always pan-fry the chicken with the skin side down first. The fat from the skin will coat your skillet with grease so the chicken won't stick to the skillet.
• Discard the chicken fat from the skillet before making the sauce!
• You may use skinless and boneless chicken if you like: breasts and  thighs.
• Garlic, lots of garlic. When it comes to garlic, the more is definitely merrier.
• Cream. I used heavy whipping cream but you can opt for whipping cream for lower calories.

CREAMY GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN PASTA

Serve the garlic butter chicken with plain spaghetti. All you have to do is cook the spaghetti to al dente, and scoop the chicken and sauce onto the pasta. Dinner is ready in 20 minutes and there is only one pot to clean.
