For Cooking The Chicken

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

  • ½ tsp Chili Flakes
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper
  • ¾ cup Heavy Cream

Instructions

Flatten The Chicken Breasts

  • Place 2 medium-sized boneless chicken breasts on a plate.
  • Take one breast and place it inside a ziplock bag. Using a meat mallet or a rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to ½ -inch thickness.
  • Repeat the process with the second chicken breast and place both flattened chicken pieces onto the plate.

Season The Chicken

  • Sprinkle ½ tsp of salt and ½ tsp of garlic granules on both sides of the chicken.
  • Add ½ tsp of black pepper and 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour and rub the seasonings and flour to coat both sides of the chicken evenly.
  • Set the chicken aside and let it rest while warming up the pan.

Cook The Chicken

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and pour 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter into the hot pan.
  • Once the butter is melted, place the seasoned chicken breasts into the pan and cook each side for 4-5 minutes.
  • Use tongs to flip the chicken once one side is cooked through.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a plate and set it aside.

Prepare The Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • In the same skillet, keep the heat at medium and add 1 tbsp of butter.
  • Add ½ cup of minced onion and saute for 2-3 minutes or until softened.
  • Add ¼ cup of minced garlic and ½ tsp of chili flakes and saute for another 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock and give it a little stir. Let the sauce come to a gentle simmer.
  • Then, squeeze 1 tbsp of lemon juice and add ¼ tsp of salt to the skillet.
  • Season the sauce with 1 tsp of oregano and ¼ tsp of black pepper. Let the sauce cook for a bit.
  • Pour in ¾ cup of heavy cream and stir to combine everything. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5-6 minutes.

Add Chicken, Garnish, and Enjoy!

  • Now, add the cooked chicken back into the skillet.
  • Garnish the dish with 1 tbsp of chopped coriander and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  • Spoon some of the sauce over the top of each piece.
  • Serve hot, and enjoy a deliciously creamy garlic chicken breast with a side of rice or mashed potatoes for a comforting dinner!
