Ingredients

Spice Mix

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)

Main Ingredients

  • 4 thin-sliced chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix spices: In a small bowl, combine salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the spice blend.
  2. Season chicken: Sprinkle half of the spice mix evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts, reserving the other half for later use.
  3. Cook chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  4. Make sauce: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. To the same skillet, add the heavy cream, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the reserved spice mix. Whisk the mixture continuously over medium heat until the sauce thickens, approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Coat chicken: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and toss them in the creamy spice sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to heat through for about 1 minute.
  6. Garnish and serve: Plate the chicken with a generous spoonful of the sauce on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately, optionally with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Use thin-sliced chicken breasts for even cooking and quicker preparation.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes, buttered pasta, or a crisp green salad.
  • To keep chicken moist, avoid overcooking and ensure the skillet is hot before adding chicken.
  • Use fresh parsley for garnish to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
