Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Smoked Gouda cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook, whisking continuously, for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to create a smooth mixture. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the shredded smoked Gouda cheese, stirring constantly until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the Gouda gravy over the top. Allow the chicken to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
