Description
A deliciously creamy and crispy pan-fried chicken dish that’s perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, butterflied
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon salt (for gravy)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (for gravy)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for gravy)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Butterfly cut the chicken breasts to create thinner, even pieces that cook faster. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the seasoning.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of flour with additional salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, coating both sides well.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked and crispy, remove it from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same hot skillet, add minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir continuously for about 1 minute until it forms a paste and smells fragrant.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder to the gravy. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Return chicken to the skillet or pour gravy over the chicken and serve immediately over mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- Make sure to have all ingredients prepped before starting for smooth execution.
- For an added twist, serve with sautéed vegetables.
- Can be paired with a salad for a complete meal.
