Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Step 4
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux. The flour should be golden but not burnt.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to eliminate any lumps. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and season the gravy with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the garlic gravy over them. Let the chicken simmer in the gravy for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your side of choice.
