Here’s how to prepare Chicken Fillet in Spicy, Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Sauce with Fries in just seven easy steps:
1. Prep the Fries: Peel and cut the potatoes into thin fries. Rinse them in cold water and soak for about 30 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly.
2. Cook the Fries: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pot. Once hot, carefully add the fries in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
3. Season the Chicken: While the fries are cooking, season each chicken fillet with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried basil for an extra flavor kick.
4. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken fillets and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and additional salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Combine: Return the chicken fillets to the skillet, coating them generously with the spicy garlic-parmesan sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
7. Serve: Serve the chicken fillets drizzled with the sauce alongside a generous portion of fries. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
