Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the gluten-free all-purpose flour to create a roux. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and golden.
Step 4
Gradually pour in chicken broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Slowly add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
Step 5
Add garlic powder, onion powder, and grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot with your choice of gluten-free pasta or rice.
