Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Dredge the chicken in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Add the lemon juice, parsley, thyme, and parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.
Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes on low heat to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with additional parsley and serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
