Quick Chicken Skillet Summer
This skillet recipe provides a fast summer dinner option. Skillet cooking made summer dinners quick without losing flavor.
Equipment
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (450g) sliced thin for fast cooking
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup parmesan finely grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
For Garnish
- 1 parsley chopped
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry to ensure a proper sear. Season the chicken evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (167°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
- Lower the heat. Sauté the minced garlic in the skillet for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet and let it reduce for 2 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and grated parmesan. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and reaches a nappe consistency (thick enough to coat the back of a spoon).
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Coat the chicken well with the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Slice the chicken. Spoon the glossy sauce over the slices and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
