CHICKEN WITH CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE , By www.uniquegiftstips.com .

A dinner for garlic lovers! Succulent chicken topped off with a creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce.

Total Time: 50 Minutes, Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients :

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup half-and-half -OR- light cream
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups Italian flavor bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp olive oil divided
• SAUCE
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp finely minced garlic
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup cream heavy cream preferred
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 oz softened cream cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp white pepper

Instructions :

• Using a meat mallet (smooth side), pound each breast between sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper to 1/4-inch thickness. This will give you a pretty large piece of chicken, so what I do is cut each pounded-down breast in half lengthwise.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add 1 tbs of the olive oil.
• Dip each piece of chicken in the cream, letting excess cream drip off, then dredge in the Italian bread crumbs. You will probably have to cook the chicken in 2 batches.
• Place chicken in hot skillet, browning well on each side, about 5 minutes each side, until chicken tests done (175 degrees F or juices run clear when you cut.
• Add remaining 1 tbs of oil and repeat browning with remaining chicken.
• Place chicken on a platter, cover and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven.
• Wipe out the skillet, if desired.
• Melt the butter over medium heat and add the garlic.
• Cook garlic until it becomes fragrant--about 3-5 minutes--don't let it brown!
• Add the flour and blend it well into the butter/garlic. Let this cook about 1 minute.
• Slowly add the chicken stock stirring constantly until there are no lumps.
• Slowly blend in the cream then add the salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add the Parmesan and cream cheese and stir until the cream cheese melts and blends into the sauce.
• Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
• Serves 4 hearty appetites, 8 light appetites
