For an even richer flavor, consider browning the garlic cloves slightly in the butter before adding the chicken. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken stock to reach your desired consistency. To make this dish ahead of time, prepare the chicken and sauce separately, then combine and heat through before serving. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors. Consider adding some sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with the garlic for added depth of flavor.

Apr 24, 2025I've made this several times, and it's always a hit. I like to add a little bit of Dijon mustard to the sauce for a tangy kick.
