🍗 Chicken For One Or Two 🍗
Ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/4 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and smoked paprika on both sides. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly for maximum flavor.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor. Let the broth simmer for a minute to reduce slightly.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and butter, allowing the mixture to combine and thicken. This creamy sauce will be the perfect accompaniment to the juicy chicken.
6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the creamy sauce. Let them simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
7. Once the chicken is heated through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant finishing touch.
8. Serve your “Chicken For One Or Two” hot over a bed of fluffy rice or with a side of roasted vegetables. The creamy sauce pairs perfectly with any side dish you prefer.
