Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 2 tsp of dried parsley. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to create thinner fillets.
- Have the butter at room temperature for easy incorporation, and make sure to grate your Parmesan just before using for maximum freshness.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken fillets and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the butter until melted, then stir in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, honey, bouillon cube, onion powder, oregano, basil, and remaining parsley. Keep simmering for about 8 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add the lemon juice.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coating it generously with the creamy sauce. Let everything simmer for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Serving
- Serve hot with sides of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a light pasta. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken.
Notes
Quality matters! Use fresh herbs and high-quality chicken for the best flavor. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine before adding chicken broth.
