Sure! Here’s a recipe for melt-in-your-mouth chicken:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. This helps seal in the juices and adds a nice crust.
- Once both sides are browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken breasts to a plate. Cover them loosely with foil to keep them warm.
- Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat. Add the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the creamy sauce.
- Serve the melt-in-your-mouth chicken with the sauce spooned over the top. It pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Enjoy your delicious melt-in-your-mouth chicken!
