Velvety Garlic Chicken Dish (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (roughly 1.3 lbs)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
03 - 1/2 teaspoon regular salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
05 - 1/4 cup plain flour

→ Sauce

06 - 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, split
08 - 1 full bulb garlic (8-9 cloves)
09 - 1 cup chicken stock
10 - 3/4 cup thick cream
11 - 1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic
12 - Salt and pepper for seasoning

# Instructions:

01 - Slice each chicken breast horizontally to make two thin pieces. Sprinkle with Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper, then dust completely with flour.
02 - Warm olive oil and half the butter in a big skillet on medium heat. Fry chicken till golden, about 4 minutes each side. Set aside on a plate and cover it up.
03 - Crush and peel all garlic cloves using a knife's flat side. Put the leftover butter and garlic in the pan, cooking on low-medium heat for 3 minutes till you smell the aroma.
04 - Pour in chicken stock, thick cream, and powdered garlic. Let it bubble for 8-10 minutes until it's half the size, scraping the tasty bits from the bottom. Add salt and pepper how you like it.
05 - Put chicken back in the pan, drizzle sauce on top, and warm it through before you dish it up.

# Notes:

01 - Great for busy weeknights
02 - The sauce goes well with noodles or spuds
03 - You can make it earlier and warm it up slowly
