Method
Preparation
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Lightly dredge the chicken in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. This step helps create a crispy outer layer when frying.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat evenly.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until they are soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, just until they start to soften.
- Add the butter to the skillet with the sautéed garlic, onion, and tomatoes, letting it melt and mix with the juices in the pan.
- Pour in the cooking cream and water, stirring to combine.
- Season the sauce with Italian herbs, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce, creating a creamy, rich texture.
- Add the oyster sauce for an extra depth of flavor, stirring until everything is well combined and the sauce is smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat them thoroughly.
- Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Once the chicken is fully heated through and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired.
- Serve the creamy chicken over pasta, rice, or with a side of vegetables or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
