Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
  • to taste Salt & pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thinner pieces. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes until the pan is hot.
  3. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until nicely seared and cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Turn off the heat under the skillet.
  4. Turn the heat back on to medium-high. Sprinkle flour and minced garlic into the skillet. Cook for about one minute, stirring often.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and whisk until the flour is dissolved and the liquid reduces by half.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for a few minutes until thickened. If it boils rapidly, reduce the heat. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices from the plate. Spoon some sauce over the chicken. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
