_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my absolute favorite go-to dinner recipe that never fails to impress. Trust me, this Garlic Butter Herb Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Risotto is about to become your new obsession, and your family will think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! 😉
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this dish has saved me when I needed to whip up something fancy without spending hours in the kitchen. Because let’s be real – who has time for that? Not this girl!
Here’s what you’ll need:
For the chicken:
– 4 chicken breasts
– 4 tbsp butter
– 4 cloves garlic (or more, I won’t judge!)
– Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage)
– Salt and pepper to taste
For the risotto:
– 1½ cups Arborio rice
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1/2 cup white wine (plus a glass for the chef! 🍷)
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 tbsp butter
Okay honey, let’s get cooking! First, season those chicken breasts like you mean it. Heat up your skillet (I love my cast iron for this), and let’s get that butter melting. Add your garlic and herbs, and let those flavors marry before adding the chicken. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Speaking of marriage, this chicken and risotto combo? Match made in heaven!
While your chicken is cooking, start your risotto in another pan. Sauté the onions in butter until translucent, add the rice and toast it for a minute. Pour in that wine and let it simmer until absorbed. Then gradually add your broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Yes, your arm might get tired, but think of it as your workout for the day! 💪

Once your risotto is creamy and al dente (about 20-25 minutes), stir in that gorgeous Parmesan cheese. Plate your risotto, top it with the chicken, and drizzle with the remaining garlic butter sauce from the pan.
