    • 2 teaspoons paprika<\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder<\/li>\n
    • \u00bd teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)<\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
    • \u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For the Cream Sauce<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • 1 cup heavy cream<\/li>\n
      • \u00bd teaspoon extra paprika (optional)<\/li>\n
      • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        For Serving<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • 12 ounces fettuccine or penne pasta
          \nOR<\/li>\n
        • Steamed white rice
          \nOR<\/li>\n
        • Mashed potatoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n

          Step 1: Prepare the Chicken<\/h3>\n

          Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and allows the chicken to brown properly.<\/p>\n

          If the chicken breasts are thick, slice them horizontally or pound them to an even thickness. Even thickness ensures even cooking and juicy results.<\/p>\n

          Step 2: Mix the Seasoning<\/h3>\n

          In a small bowl, combine:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Paprika<\/li>\n
          • Garlic powder<\/li>\n
          • Onion powder<\/li>\n
          • Cayenne pepper<\/li>\n
          • Salt<\/li>\n
          • Black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Mix well until evenly blended.<\/p>\n

            Generously coat both sides of the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture, pressing it in gently.<\/p>\n

            Step 3: Sear the Chicken<\/h3>\n

            Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.<\/p>\n

            Place the seasoned chicken into the skillet. Cook for about 4\u20135 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.<\/p>\n

            The internal temperature should reach 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

            Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.<\/p>\n

            Step 4: Make the Cream Sauce<\/h3>\n

            Without cleaning the skillet, reduce the heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream.<\/p>\n

            Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. These bits add incredible flavor to the sauce.<\/p>\n

            Allow the cream to simmer gently for 3\u20135 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will begin to thicken naturally.<\/p>\n

            If desired, add a pinch of paprika for color and extra depth.<\/p>\n

            Step 5: Return the Chicken to the Pan<\/h3>\n

            Place the chicken back into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top and let everything simmer together for another 3\u20134 minutes.<\/p>\n

            This allows the flavors to blend and the sauce to coat the chicken beautifully.<\/p>\n

            The sauce should be creamy and thick enough to lightly coat a spoon.<\/p>\n

            Step 6: Prepare the Pasta or Rice<\/h3>\n

            While the sauce simmers, cook pasta according to package instructions in salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.<\/p>\n

            If serving with rice, prepare it according to package directions.<\/p>\n

            Step 7: Assemble and Serve<\/h3>\n

            Place pasta or rice on a serving plate. Add the chicken on top and spoon plenty of the creamy sauce over everything.<\/p>\n

            Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.<\/p>\n

            Serve immediately while hot.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Use heavy cream for the richest, smoothest sauce.<\/li>\n

            • Pound chicken evenly for consistent cooking.<\/li>\n
            • Adjust cayenne pepper depending on spice preference.<\/li>\n
            • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Flavor Variations<\/h2>\n

              Add Garlic<\/h3>\n

              Saut\u00e9 minced fresh garlic in the butter before adding the chicken.<\/p>\n

              Add Vegetables<\/h3>\n

              Mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes work beautifully in the sauce.<\/p>\n

              Make It Cheesy<\/h3>\n

              Add \u00bc cup grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce for extra richness.<\/p>\n

              Make It Lighter<\/h3>\n

              Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream (the sauce will be thinner).<\/p>\n
