Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Lightly dredge the chicken in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess to create a thin, even coating.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning them to coat in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Rocky Mount Chicken pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of sautéed vegetables.
