Chicken In Creamy White Sauce Easy Recipes

CHICKEN IN WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season chicken with half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of white or black pepper.
• Place a pot on medium-high heat. Place chicken in the pot (no need to add any oil before placing the chicken - the fat from the chicken will be sufficient) and let it cook on one side for about 7 minutes. Flip to the other side and let it cook for another 5 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove chicken from pot.
• To the same pot, place in the butter and let it melt. Add the onion and garlic and saute until fragrant for about 2 minutes.
• Add the flour and stir. Let the flour cook in the butter for 1 minute while stirring continuously.
• Slowly add 2 cups of water into the pot and stir.
• Add the chicken bouillon powder, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of white (or black) pepper and stir.
• Add back the chicken to the pot. Make sure the chicken is completely immersed in the liquid or spoon some of the liquid on top to cover it. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, open and stir.
• Add the cream then let it simmer for another 3 minutes. Taste to ensure seasoning is perfect. I like a little more white pepper so I add some more at this point.
• Add chopped parsley and stir then turn off the heat.
• Serve with boiled rice or pasta. Garnish with more parsley if desired.

GARLIC CREAM SAUCE OVER CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Season chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
• Cook the chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Melt butter with vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the butter mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir flour through the butter mixture; cook and stir until flour is incorporated, about 1 minute more. Pour heavy cream and chicken broth into the saucepan; stir. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and cream cheese to the saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted into the sauce, about 5 minutes.
• Plate the chicken breasts. Spoon sauce over the chicken. Serve extra sauce on the side.

• Stir in milk (or cream); season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Bring to a boil; add the cornstarch mixture to the centre of the pan, quickly stirring, until sauce has thickened slightly. Reduce heat and simmer gently for a further minute to allow the sauce to thicken more.
• Return chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
