This Creamy Parmesan Chicken Skillet is one of those chicken dishes that you will NEVER forget. I know this first sentence seems exaggerated, but I promise you I’m being so honest. This is the most flavourful chicken I’ve ever tasted and the best part it’s so easy to make. This recipe calls for simple ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen, I mean maybe not the sun-dried tomatoes, but it’s pretty easy to find at any local grocery store, just like my Healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan.

I totally feel that you can make this recipe and impress everyone when you have family or friends over because a) looks so pretty on a dish, b) it’s super flavourful since Parmesan, heavy cream and chicken are a match made in heaven and c) it’s easy to follow step by step and you will have more time to spend with your guests.
