Servings: 3 people
Ingredients
- 600 g chicken breasts (roughly)
- 2-4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 125 ml white wine (or chicken stock)
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- parsley to serve
- new potatoes to serve
Instructions
- Grab a large saucepan and heat to a medium-high heat
- Drizzle in the olive oil and place the chicken in the pan
- Fry for 2-3 minutes each side to give it a nice colour
- Add the finely chopped garlic and fry
- Add the cayenne pepper, thyme, rosemary, pepper and salt
- Fry for 3-5 mins each side to cook the chicken through
- Pour in the wine and add the butter
- Melt the butter and mix into the sauce
- Remove the chicken from the pan and add the cream cheese
- Stir the sauce together
- Add the chicken to the serving plate, pour over the sauce and serve how you fancy - I added freshly chopped parsley and served with some herby new potatoes.
Notes
- This is best served fresh
- You can serve this with whatever side dishes you prefer
- You can switch the cream cheese for a single/double cream, or even a soya cream.
- You can use chicken thighs, or even mini fillets if you prefer, but the cooking time will reduce.
- The wine can be swapped to chicken stock
