Ingredients Breakdown

For the Chicken

• Chicken breast fillets: We are using chicken breast fillets. We have used the butterfly cutting method to have thin and even fillet. We highly recommend using chicken thighs as well.
• Salt: It is to season the chicken.
• Black pepper: It adds a peppery kick to the chicken.
• Paprika powder: Paprika adds a sharp tangy spice to the chicken.
• All-purpose flour: We are using all-purpose flour for coating. A light dust is enough for chicken to get crispy.
• Butter: Butter adds richness to the dish overall.
• Olive oil: Olive oil helps in cooking the chicken. It also prevents butter from burning.

For the Sauce

• Garlic: Garlic adds the garlicky spiciness.
• Chicken stock: Chicken stock deglazes the pan while dissolving all the flavor of chicken from the pan. We are using low-sodium stock to avoid sauce from getting too salty.
• Heavy cream: Heavy cream makes the sauce super creamy.
• Dijon mustard: It adds a tangy and spicy zing to the sauce.
• Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese gives the sauce a unique umami and savory flavor.
• Lemon juice: It brightens and balances the sauce with tanginess.
• Fresh rosemary, parsley, and cherry tomatoes: These add a pop of color and freshness.
