Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 1 minute to make a creamy gravy.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, and let them heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your 10 Minute Smothered Chicken!
