Grilled chicken breast with cream sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Cut skinless chicken breast in half lengthwise so that you get two identical pieces and season with honey, salt, pepper and olive oil. Then fry on the grill for no more than 3-4 minutes, there is no need to dry the tender fillet (I have an electric one), but you can just do it on a grill pan.

2. STEP 2

   

   For the sauce, you need to melt the butter in a frying pan, add flour, mix well (this is how bechamel sauce is made)

3. STEP 3

   

   Then pour in the cold cream and stir so that there are no lumps. Season the sauce with salt to taste. I added plenty of freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder, but you can make a milder flavored sauce by adding less pepper. You can season with spices to your taste, such as paprika, thyme, rosemary, coriander, oregano. Heat the sauce to the desired thickness; if it turns out too thick, you need to add more cream.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the meat on a plate and pour the sauce over it. Bon appetit:)

Anka, BRAVO!!! Everything was done very skillfully! The sauce is really not unimportant, if, of course, you compare it with those sauces that were served earlier in post-Soviet times, then the significance is completely different. This is how tastes, requirements, and opinions change - it’s mind-boggling how you can decorate and elevate a simple chicken fillet))) Grill, sauce, serving and temperature conditions played their role and the dish received the highest ratings! Great job, Anka!

Shura, thank you)) By the way, I love chicken breast for its chameleon properties, it takes any shape and taste) And I sincerely don’t understand why many people don’t know how to cook it, they consider it dry, not juicy meat. After all, it’s all about a short heat treatment, you shouldn’t simmer it for hours)) Grill, this is my love) I cook vegetables on it every day, by the way, I have a fairly budget option, made in Russia, but this does not detract from its merits!

Anka, I completely agree with you about the sauce. Many eaters sometimes ignore the sauce, preferring only the meat. In my case, it’s the other way around: I just love different sauces and sometimes I barter with my homemade ones, exchanging my portion of meat for their sauce. And the dish was executed and served masterfully. I don't have a way to put meat on the grill, but I'll figure something out. Just cover the meat one by one with honey, then butter, or do you make a dressing separately, and then season the meat with it?

Anait, you can season the meat with honey and butter at once, the butter is here so that the honey doesn’t burn, just grease the breast. You can cook it on a regular grill pan, you just need to turn the breasts over. Until I got a contact grill, that’s how I cooked it.

Well done, Anka, thank you, I understand the meaning of oil and honey. I was thinking of cooking it when I said I’ll think of something. I was intrigued by the taste of honey on the breast, and served with a delicious sauce. I'll definitely cook it. Maybe I’ll even make it today, although I’m lying, today I’m having pearl barley soup. Thank you .

By the way, I often add honey to marinades and sauces, the best marinade is honey mustard yogurt, I marinate both poultry and beef this way, and I don’t use mayonnaise in principle, because when baked it becomes harmful, and I practically don’t have salads with mayonnaise ) if only with home)

Anka, you are a gourmet! This is a great sauce. Thanks for the idea of ​​marinating poultry and beef. And you know, I now have a piece of pork and beef on the bones in brine (I gave up ready-made meat products). Here's the meat on the bones and I'll marinate it in your marinade. I'll just buy yogurt in the morning. I love mayonnaise and make it myself. Yesterday I prepared a salad, one might say from the capital, and dressed it only with my own mayonnaise, which is prepared in a blender in a few seconds.
