Preparation
- Serving size:7.70 oz (calculated)Notes: 1 cup of chicken with sauce; sufficient as a main if served with a side of vegetables, cauliflower rice or similar
- Cut the chicken breast into strips or use chicken tenders.
- Season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Depending on how many servings you are preparing, you may want to work in batches. In that case, add only a portion of the oil accordingly.
- Brown the chicken in the pan, about 5 minutes. It should turn golden brown and be cooked through almost completely. If working in batches, set aside and brown the next portion of meat. For 4 servings, I brown all the chicken at once, for 8 I brown it in two batches.
- Add all of the meat back into the pan together with the thinly sliced garlic and sprinkle with paprika. Stir well.
- Add the chicken broth (preferably already heated), release the caramelization from the pan (if any) and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the cream.
- Let simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken is done.
- Thicken the sauce by sprinkling over the xanthan gum and stirring well. You can of course use a different thickener of your choice (like cornstarch).
- Season to taste.
- Enjoy by itself or with a side of vegetables and rice or cauliflower rice.
- You can store the dish in an airtight container for 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
