Creamy Chicken Breast

Here’s a recipe for a delicious creamy chicken breast with an Italian twist.

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic
• 200 ml of cooking cream
• 50 ml of chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• 30 g of grated Parmesan
• Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Preparation

1. Start by salting and peppering the chicken breasts on both sides.
2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan large enough to contain the chicken and brown the chicken on both sides until golden. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside.
3. In the same pan, add the crushed garlic clove and let it brown for a minute.
4. Add the cooking cream, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard, stirring to mix everything over medium heat.
5. Put the chicken breasts back in the pan with the sauce and let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
6. With the heat off, add the grated Parmesan and stir until it melts into the sauce.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

To add an even more Italian touch, you could add aromatic herbs such as rosemary or oregano during the cooking of the chicken, or serve with a sprinkling of fresh basil at the end of cooking.

Curiosity

The creamy Parmesan sauce is a classic of Italian cuisine to enrich the flavor of white meat dishes like chicken. Adding an ingredient such as Dijon mustard can provide a pleasant contrast of flavors that enhances the tastes.
