Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the gluten-free all-purpose flour to create a roux. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and golden.
Gradually pour in chicken broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Slowly add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, and grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of gluten-free pasta or rice.
