Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Lightly dredge the chicken in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess to create a thin, even coating.
Step 3
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning them to coat in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Rocky Mount Chicken pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of sautéed vegetables.
