Essential Ingredients

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but adjust based on your guest count.
Butter: Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness while enhancing the sauce’s richness.
Onion: A medium onion adds sweetness; chop finely for even cooking.
Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves infuse an aromatic punch; opt for 3-4 cloves for maximum flavor.
Heavy Cream: This gives the sauce its delightful creaminess; don’t skimp!
Chicken Broth: Use low-sodium broth to balance flavors without overwhelming saltiness.
Spices (Paprika, Cumin, Salt & Pepper): These seasonings create depth; feel free to play around with amounts based on your palate.
Fresh Parsley (for garnish): Adds color and freshness at the end, who doesn’t love some green?

Let’s Make it together

Prep the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor during cooking.

Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt half of your butter until bubbly. Add chopped onions and cook until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Toss in minced garlic next.

Add Chicken to the Skillet: Increase the heat slightly and add your seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Sauté until they turn golden brown on all sides, around 7-10 minutes should do it.

Create the Sauce: Once your chicken is browned, lower the heat again. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth while scraping up any tasty bits stuck to the pan. Stir in paprika, cumin, and adjust seasoning as needed.

Simmer Until Thickened: Allow everything to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. You’ll notice how creamy and luscious it becomes, so good!

Finish Up!: Remove from heat; stir in remaining butter for that extra decadence! Garnish with chopped parsley before serving over rice or pasta for a complete meal.
