Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned but not cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter. Let it melt before adding the minced garlic. Cook the garlic for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic butter mixture and whisk to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to ensure the sauce remains smooth. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue simmering for another 2 minutes until the sauce is silky and thickened. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them.
Slice the brie cheese into thin pieces and place them on top of each chicken breast. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the brie has melted.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
