Grilled Chicken Breast in Cream Sauce

Incredibly tender chicken that wows everyone with its looks and its aroma! Juicy fillet with appetizing grill marks and a creamy, peppery sauce — mmm. The sauce is practically the heart of this dish. A good sauce can even rescue a recipe gone wrong. I'm always experimenting with them — I love serving meat with different sauces, and I'm sure you'll love this one.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 15 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Cut the skinless chicken breast in half lengthwise into two even pieces and season with honey, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill for no more than 3–4 minutes — don't dry out the tender fillet (mine's electric), but a grill pan works just as well.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    For the sauce, melt the butter in a skillet, add the flour, and stir well (this is the start of a béchamel).

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Pour in the cold cream, stirring so no lumps form. Season with salt to taste. I added plenty of freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder, but you can go milder with less pepper. Feel free to add spices you like — paprika, thyme, rosemary, coriander, oregano. Warm the sauce to the thickness you want; if it gets too thick, stir in a little more cream.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over the top. Enjoy!
