Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Step 5
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese and Dijon mustard. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the cheese sauce.
Step 9
Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
