Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free flour
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the garlic and butter mixture, stirring constantly to create a paste.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it has melted completely into the sauce.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them in the creamy sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and squeeze a tablespoon of lemon juice on top for added flavor.

Step 10

Serve the creamy chicken hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
