  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make chicken fillet in cream sauce in a frying pan? Prepare the products. Take a chicken fillet (I have a breast fillet, but any one will do), wash it and dry it well with a paper towel. Excess moisture will not allow the meat to fry, it will stew. Cut each chicken fillet into 3 portions.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Preheat the pan. Pour a little vegetable oil on it for frying. Fry the pieces of chicken fillet on high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. In this way, you will seal the meat juices inside, and the fillet will turn out very soft.

    Step 3.

    While the fillet is frying, peel the onion and chop it finely.

    Step 4.

    When the juice is released from the chicken fillet, add the chopped onion. Add a little salt to the meat and sprinkle with dry spices. Cover the pan with a lid, make the fire a little less and cook for 10-15 minutes. Do not forget to stir occasionally.

    Step 5.

    While the meat is stewing, prepare the following ingredients. Pour cream into one mug. In another mug, dissolve the flour in cold water. Peel and chop the garlic. Cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the products you use, the higher the calorie content of the dish will be.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Add cream, flour with water and crushed garlic to the meat. Heat everything well, bringing the mass to a boil. When heated, the resulting sauce will start to get thicker because of the flour. If the sauce turns out to be too thick, then add a little hot water. Chicken fillet in fragrant cream sauce is ready. Bon appetit!

This dish is prepared quickly enough, so it is very popular among many housewives. Chicken fillet in such a fragrant sauce is perfect for any side dish. But, on the other hand, it is very harmonious in itself, so it is quite possible to serve as an independent snack for any feast.
To make the fillet juicy, be sure to fry it on high heat. At the same time, the meat, as it were, is sealed and all the juices remain inside the piece.
I recommend using dried parsley and dill as dry spices. No sharp flavors and aromas should be added, so as not to interrupt the main taste.
When serving, you can additionally sprinkle each portion with fresh herbs.

For this recipe, it is better to take fresh meat rather than frozen, otherwise the finished meat risks getting dry.
