  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Turkish Chicken with Creamy White Sauce:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Sear chicken breasts in the skillet for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until thickened slightly.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a touch of color and freshness.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

These simple steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish that is sure to impress.
