Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2-3 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally to make 4)
4 tablespoons flour ((all purpose or plain))
4 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Black cracked pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1 whole head of garlic (peeled and divided into 10-12 cloves)
1 1/4 cup chicken broth ((stock))
1 1/4 cup half and half or heavy cream ((or evaporated milk))
1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, (to serve)

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, parmesan cheese. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture; shake off excess.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to coat evenly.
  • Fry 2-3 chicken breasts until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 4-5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer to a warm plate. Set aside.
  • Wipe pan over with a sheet of paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and chicken breasts. When cooked, transfer the chicken onto the same plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Sauté the onion in the remaining oil/juices in the pan until softened.
  • Smash 6 whole cloves of garlic with the blunt edge of the back of a knife
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat through, mixing it through the onions. Sauté smashed garlic cloves and whole garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits and let simmer and reduce to half, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, combining all of the flavours together.
  • Mix in the parmesan cheese. Continue cooking gently for about 2-3 minutes until cheese melts, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan and let simmer for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. The chicken breast will soak up all of the delicious flavours.
  • Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper. Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.
