Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free flour
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the garlic and butter mixture, stirring constantly to create a paste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it has melted completely into the sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them in the creamy sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and squeeze a tablespoon of lemon juice on top for added flavor.
Serve the creamy chicken hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
