Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces Sandwich rolls
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato (sliced)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in chicken stock, followed by heavy cream. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add chopped parsley to the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the sandwich rolls if desired. Assemble by placing lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom half of each roll.
Add sliced chicken breast on top of the lettuce and tomato, then drizzle garlic cream sauce generously over the chicken.
Place the top half of the roll on the sandwich and serve immediately.
