Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk until fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy white sauce over them. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken warm with the creamy sauce over cooked pasta, rice, or with steamed vegetables on the side.
