Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- Large boneless and skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally to make 4)-2
- All-purpose flour-3 tablespoons
- Finely grated Parmesan cheese- 3 tablespoons
- Garlic powder- 1 teaspoon
- Salt & pepper- to taste
- Oil-2 tablespoons
For The Sauce:
- Butter-1 tablespoon
- Garlic (minced)-3
- All-purpose flour-1 tablespoon
- Chicken broth- 3/4 cup
- Cooking cream-1 cup
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese-1/2 cup
- Fresh thyme sprigs-1-2
- Black pepper & salt-to taste
Instructions
- Combine the flour, parmesan and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour mixture and shake off excess. Keep aside.
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. When it is hot, add the chicken and cook until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- In the same skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour and garlic and cook for 20 seconds, stirring continuously.
- Pour in the chicken broth and whisk until well combined and lumps free.
- Add in the cooking cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer; season with salt and pepper to your taste; stir in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking for about 1-2 minutes until thickened. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add more parmesan cheese or flour. It will begin to thicken immediately.
- Return the chicken back to the skillet, allow to simmer in the sauce for a minute to soak up all the flavors. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or parsley. Enjoy!
