Instructions
Creating Turkish Chicken with Creamy White Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin on both sides.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
3. Cook Chicken: Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the creamy sauce. Let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and dill, if using. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
