Description

A flavorful Turkish dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy white sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a large pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sautรฉ the aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sautรฉ until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
  3. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken in the pan. Cook until browned on both sides, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Add the cream: Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently. This will allow the chicken to cook through while the sauce thickens.
  6. Garnish and serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Consider substituting chicken with turkey breasts or using low-fat cream for a lighter version.
