Ingredients
- For The Chicken
2-3 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4
1/2 teaspoon Black cracked pepper
2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons flour (all purpose or plain)
4 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
- For The Sauce
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup chicken broth (stock)
1 small onion finely chopped
1 whole head of garlic peeled and divided into 10-12 cloves
1 1/4 cup half and half or heavy cream (or evaporated milk)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, to serve
1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Directions
- 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.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon butter 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. 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 flavors 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 flavors.
- Garnish with parsley and a little black cracked pepper.
- Serve over pasta, cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.
