Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk it into the butter and garlic mixture. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Then add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve over rice, pasta, or with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
