Chicken Prep and Searing:

Making the Sauce:

• Melt butter in the skillet over medium/medium-low heat. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom.
• Add garlic cloves, and caramelize for 6-7 minutes.
• Add flour, and whisk for 1-2 minutes until it browns.
• Gradually pour in the chicken broth mixture, stirring continuously.
• Stir in cream, bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Add Parmesan cheese.
• Return the chicken to the pan with any juices. Spoon sauce over. Cover and cook for 5 minutes to thicken.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans. Enjoy!
