Do you feel like chicken, but are you still looking for an original dish ? In this article we will teach you how to prepare chicken breast with cheese sauce, a delicious recipe that you should definitely try.
Chicken breast with cheese sauce
Ingredients
The following ingredients are enough to prepare this recipe for chicken breast with cheese sauce for 4 people :
- 250 ml cream
- 1 cup matured cheddar cheese (200 g)
- 2 chicken breasts (500 g)
- Olive oil (to taste)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 4 cloves of garlic (5 g)
- 1 onion (60 g)
Preparation
This recipe for chicken breast with cheese sauce is actually quite simple! We’ve made it extra easy for you and divided it into two parts:
1. Prepare the chicken breast
- First, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season with salt and pepper.
- Then heat some olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the chicken pieces in the pan and sear them lightly so the meat doesn’t lose any moisture. After 3 minutes, remove the chicken pieces from the pan when they are golden brown, but not quite cooked through.
2. Prepare the cheese sauce
- The chicken pieces have probably absorbed all the oil in the pan, so add a little more oil and set the pan over a low heat.
- While the oil is heating, finely chop the onion and thinly slice the garlic.
- Add the onion to the pan and sauté over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until it turns golden and slightly translucent.
- Then add the garlic slices and let them fry for just a few seconds. It’s really important that you do n’t add them at the same time as the onion or they will burn before the onion is well cooked.
- When the garlic has turned golden brown, add the cream and cheese and sprinkle with some extra salt.
- Keep the heat low and stir well to melt the cheese into a homogeneous sauce that mixes well with the onion and garlic. The contrast in texture between the soft onion and the crispy fried garlic gives this recipe a very unique touch.
- Finally, add the chicken pieces to the pan so they can cook in the sauce. Let them simmer for about 5 minutes and then everything is ready to serve.

We also offer you an alternative recipe with chicken: chicken fingers. This dish can be a fun way to prepare chicken for a change. You may even want to combine the chicken fingers with the cheese sauce from the recipe above!

- 2 cloves of garlic (3 g)
- 3 eggs (150g)
Preparation
- First, cut the chicken breast into finger-wide strips.
- Then crush the garlic, parsley, paprika powder, with a pestle and mortar and add some salt and olive oil.
- Pour the mixture into a separate bowl, add the eggs and beat well.
- Add the chicken strips and stir vigorously until they have a nice layer of the mixture.
- Then place the bowl in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours to allow the mixture to absorb thoroughly.
- Once the bars have been in the fridge for a few hours, take them out and roll each bar in breadcrumbs. Make sure the chicken is completely covered.
- Heat a large amount of oil in a pan, add the chicken strips and fry until golden brown on the outside and well cooked on the inside.
- Finally, place the strips on kitchen paper to remove the excess oil. That way it will be much easier to dip the chicken fingers in the cheese sauce.
