Chicken breasts with cheese sauce

Preparing the chicken breasts

The preparation of this chicken breast recipe is very easy. First, cut the breasts into cubes, of medium size. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.

When the oil is hot enough, add the diced chicken and turn them to cook them evenly. This way they will be well cooked inside, without all the water evaporating and becoming too dry. After about 3 minutes, when the chicken cubes are browned on the outside but lightly raw on the inside, remove them from the pan.

Preparation of the cheese sauce

The brisket pieces have probably absorbed all the oil in the pan. So add one more and wait for it to heat up again.

Meanwhile, cut the onion into small pieces and the garlic cloves into thin slices. Add the onion first and let it brown and soften for 10 to 15 minutes over low heat.

Then add the garlic slices, which will cook in seconds. It is important not to add them at the same time as the onion, as the garlic will burn quickly while the onion is raw. Once the garlic slices are golden, add the cream and cheese, with a little salt.

Continue to heat everything over low heat, then stir the mixture so that the cheese melts and forms a homogeneous sauce.

The contrast in textures between the heat-softened onion and the fried, crispy garlic slices will make the chicken breast recipe taste delicious.

Finally, add the chicken breast cubes to the pan. It takes about 5 minutes for the mixture to cook and ready to serve.
