Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts cut lengthwise to make 4 thinner breasts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil + 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Combine the spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle each side of the chicken breast with the spices.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter is melted add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the butter and allow the mixture to slowly come to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • When the sauce has simmered softly for 3-4 minutes add the chicken back to the skillet and cover.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-low for 6-10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Notes

Do not cook the heavy cream too quickly or at too high of a temperature. You want to
be gentle with the sauce to prevent it from burning or curdling.
Use a meat thermometer and once the chicken has reached a temperature of 165 degrees F remove this dish from heat.
