Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Salad:

  • 3 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, romaine, and spinach)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper, julienned
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Add them to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through (about 6–7 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the cream and Parmesan. Stir well, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with sauce.
  3. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine salad greens, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and almonds.
  4. Make the Dressing: Whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently.
  5. Serve: Plate the salad first, then place a creamy chicken breast on top of each serving. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
