Servings: 2

Ingredients

2 tbsp (15 g) all-purpose flour
1 tosp (7 g) paprika
½ tsp (3 g) salt
½ tsp (1 g) black pepper
1 large chicken breast (about 1 lb or 450 g, cut into 2 pieces)
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup (250 ml) chicken stock
⅔ cup (150 ml) heavy cream (double cream in the UK)
2 tsp (2 g) chopped fresh chives
2 tsp (2 g) chopped fresh dill

Cooking Instructions

Start by cutting the chicken breast into cutlets. Slice the chicken breast horizontally into 2 pieces. Pound any thick parts to ensure even thickness. This step helps the chicken cook evenly and stay juicy. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Heat oil and butter in a skillet, then sear the seasoned chicken on both sides until golden brown. Cover and set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until aromatic. Add the flour and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Stir in paprika, black pepper, and chicken stock to create a smooth sauce. Then add the heavy cream, chives, and dill.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to coat.

Chef's Note

Variations: What I love about this recipe is its versatility! Add crispy bacon for a delicious twist. You can also toss in sautéed mushrooms or some spinach for extra fiber.

What to serve:
Make it a complete meal with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes, paired with green peas, roasted broccoli, or green beans. It's also amazing with pasta, as there's plenty of gravy to pour over it!
