Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter, then add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to coat the flour evenly.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook the sauce for another 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your flavorful gluten-free creamy cheese and herb chicken bake!
