Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cup Flour (Optional, for dredging)
- 2 tablespoons Shallots
- 2 cloves Garlic (Fresh cloves recommended)
- 4 tablespoon Butter (Can substitute with oil)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (Use half-and-half or dairy-free alternative for lighter twist)
- 1 cup Chicken Broth (Low-sodium is best)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (Thyme or Parsley, for garnish)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels. If you prefer extra crispiness, dredge them lightly in seasoned flour.
- Heat a generous amount of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and keep it warm on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the shallots and garlic. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and fresh lemon juice. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, thickening it to create the creamy sauce.
- Gently place the seared chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving. Pair this Gloria chicken dish with your choice of sides.
