Ingredients

4servings

1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder1 teaspoon onion powder1 teaspoon chili powder1 teaspoon Spanish smoked sweet paprika1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied2 tablespoons grapeseed oil2 tablespoons butter½ cup heavy cream, or more as needed

Instructions

Prepare and Season Chicken

Mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, sweet paprika, and Creole seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside about 2 teaspoons of this spice mix for later, then sprinkle the rest evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Cook Chicken in Skillet

Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). When it’s done, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.

Simmer Cream Sauce

Turn the heat down to medium-low, then melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the reserved spice mix and give it a quick stir. Slowly pour in the heavy cream in two parts, stirring as you go. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens up a bit, which should take around 3 minutes.

Serve with Creamy Sauce

Serve the chicken with the creamy sauce spooned over the top.
