Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken breasts. Lightly dredge each piece in flour to create a light coating.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Caramelize onions: In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are caramelized.
- Sauté garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Don’t rush the caramelization; it enhances flavor. Pound the chicken for even cooking. Adjust sauce consistency with broth or cream if needed.
