Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the crumbled blue cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them.
Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
