This dish is my husband’s favorite. As soon as we’re done with one serving, he’s already getting seconds.

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken:

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic:

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.

3. Make the Sauce:

To the skillet, pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful brown bits. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

4. Finish the Sauce:

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.

5. Add the Chicken Back:

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let everything simmer together for an extra 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up some of the sauce and become even more flavorful.

6. Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color, and serve the dish hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. The creamy sauce and tender chicken make it the perfect pairing with any side dish.

Why You’ll Love This Dish:

• Rich and Creamy Sauce: The combination of heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan creates a velvety sauce that coats every bite of chicken, making each forkful irresistible.
• Tender Chicken: The chicken breasts stay juicy and tender after being cooked in the sauce, ensuring that each bite is full of flavor.
• Versatile: While the recipe calls for chicken, you can easily swap it for pork chops, turkey, or even vegetarian options like tofu or cauliflower steaks if you’re looking to mix things up.
• Family-Friendly: Kids and adults alike will love this dish. It’s the perfect way to get everyone to the table without any complaints.
• Perfect for Leftovers: This dish keeps well in the fridge and makes for great leftovers the next day. Trust me—your husband will be excited to have this again!

Tips for Making the Perfect Dish:

• Customize the Sauce: Feel free to add other seasonings like thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder to enhance the flavor of the sauce. A squeeze of lemon juice also works wonderfully if you want a tangy kick.
• Serve with a Side: This dish is perfect served with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up all the creamy sauce. Steamed vegetables or a side salad are also great for adding some freshness to balance the richness of the dish.
• Make it a One-Pan Meal: If you want to simplify cleanup, cook the chicken, sauce, and side dishes (like potatoes or vegetables) in the same pan. It’s easy, convenient, and results in less mess.
• Add Extra Flavor: If you like a little more texture, you can add some sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the sauce before serving to add depth and color.

Why My Husband Can’t Get Enough:

My husband loves it because it’s flavorful, filling, and has just the right amount of creaminess to make it feel indulgent without being overwhelming.
