Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Place the gluten-free flour in a shallow dish and dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes more.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Let it heat through for about 2 minutes.
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the gluten-free chicken warm with white sauce drizzled over top, along with your choice of gluten-free sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
