Ingredients
- – 1 ¾ cups (415 ml) chicken broth
- – ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) mustard powder
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
- – 1/2 chicken bouillon cube
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) EACH: onion powder, oregano, basil, parsley
- – 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- – Salt/Pepper
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) parsley
- – 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) olive oil
- – ¾ cup (180 ml) apple juice, see notes
- – 4 cloves garlic, minced
- – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) butter
- – 3 tablespoons (45 ml) flour
- – ½ cup (50 g) freshly grated alternative cheese
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix the sauce components in a large spouted measuring cup and set them aside for later. Prepare all other ingredients before you start.
- Cut the chicken breasts horizontally to create 2-3 thinner pieces. Place them under plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to a thickness of ½ inch.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, and parsley on both sides of the chicken pieces.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Turn off the heat. Pour in the apple juice, then adjust the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the skillet to lift the browned bits, which will enhance the sauce’s flavor. Allow it to gently bubble and reduce for 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes until the liquid reduces by half.
- Melt the butter in the skillet and mix in the flour, stirring to incorporate. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the sauce mixture from the first step, stirring continuously. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer. Allow it to simmer and thicken for about 8 minutes.
- Lower the heat and slowly add the grated cheese, stirring constantly. Mix in the lemon juice.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Warm through for 5 minutes or until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and your choice of roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Use homemade or high-quality store-bought chicken broth for a more flavorful sauce.
- Experiment with different cheeses for a unique taste.
- Adjust honey amount to balance sauce sweetness to your liking.
