Ah, Angel Chicken—this usually refers to a light, tender chicken dish, often baked with a creamy sauce or a “angel hair” style preparation. I can give you a simple and delicious baked Angel Chicken recipe that’s tender, creamy, and full of flavor.
Angel Chicken Recipe
(Serves 4)
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or a mix of basil, oregano, thyme)
- 1 cup angel hair pasta, cooked (optional, if serving “angel hair” style)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove from skillet.
- Make the sauce
- In the same skillet, sauté onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Bake the chicken
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon some sauce over it.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 15–20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
- Serve
- Spoon sauce over the chicken.
- Optional: serve over cooked angel hair pasta or rice.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce before serving.
- You can mix in mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.
- If you want a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
If you want, I can also give a faster stovetop-only version that skips the oven but is just as creamy and delicious.
