Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
1 cup chicken broth (halal certified)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon mushroom-based bouillon
Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or chives)
Instructions
Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
Combine flour and Parmesan cheese on a shallow plate, then dredge chicken breasts until coated.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and whole garlic cloves, sautéing until fragrant and softened.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and mushroom bouillon; let simmer to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and return heat to low, allowing the sauce to thicken into a luxurious consistency.
Return chicken to the skillet to coat with the sauce before serving.
Notes
Ensure chicken is pounded to an even thickness to guarantee uniform cooking and moist results. If the sauce is too thin, simmer for an additional minute before adding the chicken back to the pan. Serve over steamed rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables to soak up the extra garlic cream sauce.
