Recipe Collection: Chicken in Cream Sauce

admin March 11, 2010

Written by Kate Tietje

One night, I was craving a creamy, saucy chicken and invented this chicken in cream sauce recipe. The recipe came out so delicious I just had to share! Not only is it creamy, but it’s so flavorful you (or your kids) will be begging for seconds (maybe thirds).

The best part about this recipe is it can easily be modified to be dairy-free or GAPS-friendly with just a few simple swaps. For the butter, you can use ghee or coconut oil; for the milk, you can use coconut milk (or another dairy-free alternative). If you’re not using flour, I recommend reducing the sauce by cooking it uncovered before adding the milk. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or, for GAPS, steamed cauliflower.

Chicken in Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp. butter (if using mushrooms, double the amount of butter)
  • ½ cup mushrooms, sliced or chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 2 tbsp. arrowroot starch (or flour)
  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into large pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Step 1: In a pan, melt the butter over low heat.

Step 2: Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms (if using) and saute until soft.

Step 3: Turn up the heat and add chicken to the mixture. Cook the chicken until it’s lightly browned on both sides.

Step 4: Add chicken broth, stirring to mix all flavors, and cook until chicken is done through.

Step 5: Add the milk before mixing in the arrowroot starch (or flour) and water.

Step 6: Stir constantly and cook over medium heat until the mixture is thickened. Serve.
