Ingredients

Scale

Spice Mix

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)

Chicken & Sauce

  • 4 thin-sliced chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir well to create a uniform spice mix.
  2. Season Chicken: Sprinkle half of the prepared spice mix evenly over both sides of the thin-sliced chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the remaining spice mixture for later.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
  4. Prepare Sauce: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the heavy cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the reserved spice mix to the same skillet. Whisk continuously over medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Coat Chicken with Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Toss or spoon the thickened creamy sauce over the chicken to coat it evenly. Let the chicken warm through in the sauce for an additional 1 minute.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Plate the chicken breasts and spoon extra sauce over them. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Optionally, serve the dish accompanied by pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced chicken breasts for even cooking and quicker preparation.
  • Cayenne pepper is optional and can be adjusted based on your preferred spice level.
  • For a richer sauce, ensure to whisk continuously to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best texture and flavor.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with buttery mashed potatoes, wide egg noodles, or a crisp green salad.
