Creamy Chicken


I discovered this recipe a few months ago and since then, it has been a staple in our menu- we eat this at least once a week. It is super simple and even my picky boys like it.


Creamy Chicken:

1 1/2 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 Cup butter
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 Cup heavy cream


In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter on medium high heat. Place chicken in melted butter and sprinkle with spices. Brown chicken- the spices make a nice thin crust and permeate the entire dish. Add the cream and remaining butter. Simmer, stirring frequently, until cream thickens, it usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with noodles or mashed potatoes. The chicken has a wonderulf flavor and the sauce makes a delicious gravy for the pasta or potatoes.


If you prefer things with a little kick, like we do at our house, add a teaspoon or so of cayanne pepper to the chicken while cooking.
