DinnerCreamyGarlicChicken

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 1/5 oz plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
  • 0.53 cup chicken stock
  • 1 3/10 cup thickened (whipping/heavy) cream
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 4/5 oz grated parmesan
  • sea salt flakes
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped flat‑leaf parsley
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. 1
    Pat the chicken breasts dry, then slice each breast horizontally to create thinner cutlets; set aside.
  2. 2
    In a shallow dish combine salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, sweet paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, and the flour. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture and press each piece into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
  3. 3
    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large, deep skillet over medium‑high heat until the butter foams.
  4. 4
    Add the coated chicken to the pan in a single layer; cook for 5‑6 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is just cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  5. 5
    Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  6. 6
    Pour in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 1‑2 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by roughly half.
  7. 7
    Stir in the heavy cream and dijon mustard; continue to simmer for 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. 8
    Add the grated parmesan and season the sauce with sea‑salt flakes and additional black pepper to taste; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
  9. 9
    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2‑3 minutes, turning the pieces once, until the chicken is heated through and fully coated with the creamy sauce.
  10. 10
    Remove from heat, sprinkle the chopped flat‑leaf parsley over the top, and serve immediately with your choice of mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or pasta, accompanied by steamed greens and lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish.
