Tasty recipe for chicken breast in cheese sauce

It is a simple yet exquisite dish – it consists of the favorite ingredients of most of us. Who doesn’t like juicy chicken or cheese?

To prepare this dish well (a serving for two), we need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of cooking cream (250 ml).
• 1 portion of  hard cheese (200 g).
• 2 chicken breasts (500 g).
• Olive oil (to taste).
• Salt and pepper (to taste).
• 4 cloves of garlic (5 g).
• 1 onion (60 g).

Preparation of chicken breast

There is nothing difficult about it – even an inexperienced home chef will be able to prepare this dish.

• Breasts should be cut into medium or small cubes; size according to the bite. 
• Season with salt and pepper. Fry in hot olive oil  at high temperature until golden brown. It is very important to add the chicken when the oil is warmed up well. This allows the meat to be fried quickly, leaving it juicy.

• After about 3 minutes, when the chicken cubes are browned on the outside, but a bit raw on the inside – remove them from the pan.

Preparation of cheese sauce

There is a high probability that the chicken pieces you fried have absorbed all the oil – so in the same pan we can heat up another dose of olive oil and wait for the oil to heat up again. 

• In the meantime  , cut the onion into small pieces and the garlic cloves into thin slices. First add the onion in the frying pan, wait until it is translucent and leave it on low heat for about 10/15 minutes.
• Then add the garlic slices which will turn brown in seconds. It is important not to add them together with the onions, because the garlic burns quickly, when the onion is still raw. Add the cream and grated cheese to the browned slices of garlic and onion. We can add a pinch of salt to taste.

• The next step is to thoroughly mix all the ingredients, leaving them on low heat so that the onion and garlic merge into a homogeneous mass with the melted cheese and cream.

An inconspicuous combination of onion and garlic adds an interesting flavor to the sauce. The contrast between the textures of all ingredients will delight you and your guests!

Finally, add the chicken pieces to the sauce, mix them together, leave for another 5 minutes and enjoy a great dish.
