Can we make this creamy Easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with any meat , shrimp or Fish?

Absolutely!!!!

When I made this creamy Easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken ,I made this with a couple of different combinations.

The sauce compliments the Shrimps, Crab meat, and even lobster tails.

The garlic and cream marry very well . The Luscious Sauce is perfect for a crusty bread , ready to be dipped in the sauce. The sauce is also a delicious combination for pasta, Spaghetti, Zucchini noodles or even rice.

What are the Ingredients Used to make the Easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken?

The List of Ingredients are summarised here , however a detailed list along with measurements can be found in the recipe card below.The Easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken is made with Ingredients easily found in the Pantry. As this recipe can be made within 30 minutes , its a meal which can add sparkle to a dull weeknight dinner.

Oil and butter- The oil used can be a neutral oil or Olive oil . The Recipe uses Parmesan Cheese hence I prefer to use any light oil for sautéing the onion and garlic . Butter , a spoonful of butter added to oil just keeps the flavours of butter intact.

Onion– A red onion, yellow or any onion found in the pantry is ideal for the recipe. To add depth to the sauce also a little zing . I have used a Red onion for this recipe.

Garlic– Since this Easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

is a recipe that uses lots of garlic. Its a mandate. Just in case we do not like garlic it can be avoided. We are garlic lovers and prefer the extra punch the garlic adds to the sauce. You can also use garlic powder if you like.

Chicken– Hormone and antibiotic free Chicken is what i always use in all my recipes. We do not want to consume antibiotics fed to the chicken . Free range meats are always good as they are not hormone fed.

Chicken Stock – I love the Rachel ray brand ( its really flavoufull Like homemade) My refrigerator has Chicken stock. Homemade Chicken stock is easy to make and can be used in a range of recipes too. low sodium store bought varieties of Chicken stocks or bouillon cubes could also be used in this particular recipe.

Spinach- Spinach always freshens up a sauce , the flavours added and the colour it imparts to a dish can make it look like a million dollar dish. Its also nutritious , The spinach disguised in the cream sauce and parmesan is loved by children too. So go ahead add the spinach. You can very well use canned organic spinach lying in your pantry.

Cream– This recipe is made with cream. However if you are on a particular diet or lactose intolerant , Cream can be replaced by Coconut milk, almond milk, coconut cream.Soy milk too. Half and half can also be used.

Seasoning– this is a minimal seasoning recipe. The flavours are attributed to the parmesan and Garlic . So salt and Pepper is good enough to season the sauce as well as the chicken.

Parmesan– Please! use the best Parmigiano-Reggiano. Please do not use the ready ones with fillers and flavours. Believe me when I say ,” it makes a lot of difference, fresh and only fresh.”

Gluten free Tapioca /Corn starch- This is only used to thicken the sauce. I use gluten free as it gives a more luscious ,creamy sauce. No lumps.

Make it keto : Leave Out the Corn starch . Add Glucomannan instead. Or just avoid the thickeners. You may add the Cream and cheese just before serving . Do not over heat , so they do not split.
