Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1.5 cups White cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Add olive oil to the skillet and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside (they will finish cooking later).
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and lift any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the shredded white cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Whisk well until the cheeses melt and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley (optional) and serve warm. This dish pairs well with steamed broccoli, cauliflower rice, or a simple mixed greens salad.
