Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • Optional Red pepper flakes for a touch of heat

Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle
  • Paper towels
  • Foil
  • Plate
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. This helps ensure a good sear on the griddle. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes here if you like a little spice.

  2. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and is shimmering, it's ready for the chicken.
    2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter
  3. Carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces to the hot griddle in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove the cooked chicken from the griddle and set aside on a plate, tented loosely with foil to keep it warm.

  4. Reduce the griddle heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the residual oil and butter on the griddle. Sauté for about 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  5. Pour the heavy cream into the griddle with the garlic. Stir to combine with the drippings and garlic. Bring the cream to a gentle simmer.
    1/2 cup heavy cream
  6. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the simmering cream. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce begins to thicken. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  7. Return the cooked chicken pieces to the griddle and toss them in the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce until evenly coated. Stir in the fresh chopped parsley.

  8. Serve the Blackstone Garlic Parmesan Chicken immediately. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for an extra pop of flavor and color.

Notes

Leftover Blackstone Garlic Parmesan Chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, opt for the stovetop for the best results. Place the chicken and sauce in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through, adding a splash of chicken broth or water if the sauce has thickened too much. Avoid the microwave, as it can sometimes make the chicken rubbery and the sauce oily.
For longer storage, you can freeze the cooked chicken and sauce. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. It can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed above.
