Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Crumbled bleu cheese
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the chicken broth, using a spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir until well combined. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the crumbled bleu cheese and continue to cook until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve with rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.
