Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken fillets and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until 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 minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour, stirring continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually add chicken broth and low-fat milk to the skillet while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in lemon juice and grated Parmesan cheese until combined. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Return the cooked chicken breast to the skillet, spooning the white sauce over the chicken. Cover and let simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve the chicken fillets with the white sauce and enjoy a healthy, low-fat meal.
