Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken ham slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chicken ham slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and heated through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form, and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until fully melted and smooth. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken ham slices to the skillet, spooning the cheese sauce over them to coat evenly. Let everything simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
