Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average-sized breasts)
1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup white wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if you want extra sauce
1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced; or to taste
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
  • Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
  • Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
  • Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
  • Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
  • Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  • Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prep all ingredients. This will ensure smooth and efficient cooking.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic provides the best flavor. If using pre-minced garlic, use half the amount as it tends to be stronger.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the chicken brown evenly.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine adds flavor to the sauce, so choose one you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce for a few minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, so prepare everything else before cooking the chicken.

Conclusion:

This saucy garlic chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, the sauce is rich and creamy, and the garlic adds a delicious savory note. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables, and you have a complete and satisfying meal.
