GARLIC CREAM SAUCE



Garlic Cream Sauce image

A basic but flavorful garlic cream sauce that can be tweaked, modified, or adjusted to suit your needs.

Provided by JayDubs

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 Cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon oil
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
salt

Steps:

  • Heat butter and oil in a saucepan until the butter is melted.
  • Add garlic to saucepan and stir until fragrant. I recommend using ready to use pre-diced garlic or garlic paste. If you don't have these then try to get your garlic as fine as possible.
  • Add flour to garlic and butter mixture in saucepan and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the saucepan and continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Add about a teaspoon of salt, more or less to taste, then cover and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes.
  • This sauce goes fantastic with pork chops and chicken breasts. Serve immediately over fully cooked chicken or pork chops.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. Use fresh garlic and butter, and choose a good quality white wine.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it's golden brown: Don't be afraid to cook the chicken until it's golden brown. This will give it a nice flavor and will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Reduce the sauce until it's thick and creamy: Don't rush the process of reducing the sauce. Let it simmer for at least 15 minutes, or until it's thickened to your liking.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: Creamy garlic butter sauce is best served immediately. It will start to thicken as it cools, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Creamy garlic butter sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for chicken, fish, shrimp, and pasta. It's also a great way to add flavor to vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a creamy garlic butter sauce that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meals, give creamy garlic butter sauce a try. You won't be disappointed.
