Creamy Garlic Chicken – Made this dozens of times but never wrote a recipe, since I now have I thought I’d share it

You will need:
•400g of chicken fillets (I use mini fillets)
•1 onion/4 shallots
•1 bulb of garlic
•1 carrot
•400ml chicken stock
•250ml double cream
•Salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chilli powder
•100g butter
•Oil (I use extra virgin olive oil)

Chicken:
1. Add oil to a pan, dice chicken then add to the pan
2. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder then fry on medium heat until cooked through but not brown, add chilli pepper and smoked paprika then mix
3. Add to a deep dish with 100g of chopped butter then place under a grill on low heat to melt and keep the heat

Veg:
1. Again to the pan add oil and add one diced carrot then fry on medium heat
2. Dice one onion or 3-4 shallots then add to the pan after 5 minutes of the carrots frying
3. Add salt and pepper
4. After everything has softened and began to take on some colour, reduce heat and grate (or add chopped) 3 or more cloves of garlic (I use 7) into the pan
5. Fry for 5 minutes on low heat
6. Add 400 ml of chicken stock and turn the heat back to medium/medium high
6½. During the reduction stage turn the grill up high and start browning the chicken off while basting in the butter every 10 minutes
7. Reduce the stock by ¾ and then add the chicken from the grill once its browned
8. Add 250ml of double cream and reduce by a further half

Serve and enjoy
