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.

CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE



Chicken Sandwiches With Garlic Cream Sauce image

This is a chicken salad with a garlic cream sauce that I got from a friend in Cornwall. It's really tasty. Something like the gryro sandwiches, in which you can use pork or steak for the sandwiches as well. Just pour the sauce over the pork or steak instead of mixing it with the chicken. For the steak you could add crumbled blue cheese if you so desire.

Steps:

  • You can use more if you prefer, depends on your taste.
  • Mix together thoroughly, and add to the veggies and chicken.
  • Mix well and let marinate for at least 4 hours.
  • Serve them on pita bread, or in pita pockets.
  • The pockets work better.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the sauce for a tangy kick.
  • If you don't have chicken breasts, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply whisk together the ingredients and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over low heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
