Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter.
Step 5
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Step 7
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 8
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 9
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 11
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, allowing them to simmer in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Step 12
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 13
Serve the chicken breasts with generous amounts of sauce drizzled over the top.
