Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken ham slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken ham slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and heated through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form, and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until fully melted and smooth. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Return the cooked chicken ham slices to the skillet, spooning the cheese sauce over them to coat evenly. Let everything simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
