Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Chopped 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 chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet.
Once the butter has melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in soy sauce and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Let the mixture come to a simmer, then add heavy cream, stirring to combine.
Sprinkle in xanthan gum while whisking the sauce continuously to thicken.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and let them cook in the sauce for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving hot.
