Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously, cooking for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the garlic cream sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the Company Garlic Chicken hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair it with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
