Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Season chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cook the chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Melt butter with vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the butter mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir flour through the butter mixture; cook and stir until flour is incorporated, about 1 minute more. Pour heavy cream and chicken broth into the saucepan; stir. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and cream cheese to the saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted into the sauce, about 5 minutes.
  • Plate the chicken breasts. Spoon sauce over the chicken. Serve extra sauce on the side.

CHICKEN IN CREAM SAUCE



Chicken in Cream Sauce image

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (5 pound) whole chicken
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 red peppers, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 jalapeno peppers, sliced into rings
1 onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine chicken (breast-side up), chicken broth, water, Mexican crema, tomatoes, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot, ensuring all ingredients are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Turn chicken over using a pair of tongs. Cover stockpot and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from mixture and set aside.
  • Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Cut chicken into serving-size pieces and return to stockpot; stir in chopped cilantro and cook until chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give you plenty of room to cook the chicken and sauce without overcrowding the pot.
  • Brown the chicken in batches: This will help to ensure that the chicken is evenly cooked and doesn't steam.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will add flavor to the sauce, so choose something that you like the taste of. Some good options include chicken broth, white wine, or apple cider.
  • Don't boil the sauce: Bring the sauce to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Boiling the sauce will cause it to curdle.
  • Add the cream at the end: Stir in the cream just before serving to prevent it from curdling.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the sauce is flavorful.
