Ingredients

For the Chicken:

A plate of raw chicken breasts is surrounded by small bowls containing olive oil, dried herbs, salt, and pepper on a white, hexagonal-tiled surface—perfect for creating a flavorful Garlic Parmesan Chicken recipe.

Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenders – Chicken thighs are often cheaper and harder to overcook, making them great for the griddle. Chicken breasts work just as well if that’s what you have.
Avocado Oil – A high smoke point oil helps prevent sticking and gives the chicken a nice crust. Use whatever oil you already have on hand. See Best Oil to Use on Blackstone
Italian Seasoning – A budget-friendly blend that adds instant flavor without buying multiple spices.
Salt & Pepper – Simple seasoning goes a long way with this recipe.

Ingredients for a Garlic Parmesan Chicken recipe arranged on a white hexagon-tiled surface, including grated cheese, flour, butter, minced garlic, milk, broth, and small bowls of seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

Unsalted butter – Adds richness to the sauce. Store-brand butter works great here.
Cloves Garlic Minced – Fresh garlic adds bold flavor, but garlic powder works perfectly and is more pantry-friendly.
All Purpose Flour – Helps to thicken sauce. Store brand flour works great too.
Chicken Broth – Feel free to substitute with water if you are out of chicken broth.
Heavy Cream – Gives the sauce a creamy base
Grated Parmesan cheese – Use freshly grated if possible for the best melt, but pre-grated parmesan works fine to save time and money.

Tips for Success

Cooking Chicken – Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to the current temperature.
Coat Chicken Well – When basting the chicken with the garlic parmesan sauce, place a lot of the sauce on the chicken to make sure that it gets well coated.
Placing Chicken – Don’t overcrowd the griddle or the chicken will steam instead of sear.
Prepare ahead – Prep ahead by seasoning the chicken earlier in the day to save time at dinner.

Variations & Substitutions

Spicy Version: Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Low-Carb: Serve with grilled vegetables instead of rice or pasta.
Kid-Friendly: Skip extra garlic and keep seasoning mild.
