  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup heavy cream
– ½ cup chicken broth
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Turkish Chicken with Creamy White Sauce is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and dried oregano. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
3. Cook the Chicken: Sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits.
6. Add Lemon Juice: Stir in the lemon juice and allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
7. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them well with the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
