Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste
  • 1 pinch black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, for a touch of heat (optional)

Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle
  • Medium Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Plate
  • Whisk
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken thigh pieces with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

  2. Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, spread it evenly across the cooking surface.
    2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  3. Carefully place the seasoned chicken pieces onto the hot griddle in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the griddle and set aside on a plate.

  4. Reduce the griddle heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30-60 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; it should just be gently softened and aromatic.

  5. Pour the chicken broth into the griddle and use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.

  6. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk gently until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  7. Return the cooked chicken to the griddle and toss it into the sauce. Add the chopped fresh parsley and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If you desire a little heat, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes.

  8. Remove the Blackstone Garlic Parmesan Chicken from the griddle. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Reheat leftovers on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen the sauce. Microwave reheating is an option but may cause the sauce to separate slightly.
