How to Prepare Chicken Breast with Cheese Sauce
-
Prepare the chicken breast
Remove the skin from the chicken breast you bought, wash it with water, then use salt and crushed ginger to rub evenly over the breast piece and rinse it with clean water to eliminate any fishy smell. Let it drain or use a clean towel to dry it. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the breast to help the meat absorb the seasoning quickly and evenly.
Next, marinate the chicken breast with 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of pepper for 10-15 minutes. Then place 4 tablespoons of flour and 4 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese into a bowl, mix the flour, and coat the chicken breast with that mixture, arranging it on a plate.
Tips for Preparing Chicken Breast to Remove Fishy Smell:
- After rubbing with salt, you can use a mixture of alcohol and sliced ginger; pound and rub the entire breast once again to help remove any fishy smell and dirt. Rinse thoroughly and let it drain.
- Alternatively, you can add lemon to the water and soak the chicken breast for 15-20 minutes. After that, take it out, rinse with cold water, and let it drain.

Searing chicken
Place a pan on the stove, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil, medium heat. Then add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the pan, and let it melt.
Carefully place each piece of chicken into the pan, frying until the chicken is firm and golden brown on both sides, then remove the chicken and turn off the heat.

Making cheese sauce
Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel the garlic, crush one clove and leave one clove whole.
Using the same frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and turn on medium heat. Then add the onion and garlic to the pan, sauté until golden.
Pour in 300ml of chicken broth, 300ml of heavy cream, 63g of Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of pepper, stirring well to combine the ingredients.
-
Completion
Place the chicken breast in the sauce pan. Use a spoon to continuously drizzle sauce over the top of the chicken, helping to keep the meat moist and evenly coated with sauce. Cook the chicken breast over medium heat until you see the sauce starting to thicken, then turn off the heat.
Remove the chicken to a plate, drizzle a little more sauce over it, and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top to make the dish more visually appealing.

Final product
The chicken breast is tender, seasoned just right. The cheese sauce is rich and creamy, and when you eat it, you can also feel the chewiness of the garlic, making the dish even more enticing.

Ingredients for Honey Glazed Chicken Breast Serves 2
Chicken breast 2 pieces Honey 90 gr Flour 60 gr Zucchini 1 piece Cauliflower 300 gr Cilantro 2 sprigs Apple cider vinegar 1.5 tablespoons (or white wine) Honey 90 gr Soy sauce 1 tablespoon Garlic 2 cloves Pepper 2 teaspoons Salt 2 teaspoons Unsalted butter 50 gr
How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh zucchini
- Choose fruits with smooth, shiny skin, vibrant green color, intact stems, and no cuts or blemishes.
- Lightly press with your hand; if it feels firm and not soft, it’s fresh zucchini.
How to choose good cauliflower
- Observe the color of the cauliflower when selecting; good cauliflower usually has bright green or white color, with no discoloration or brown spots.
- Next, touch the stem of the green cauliflower; those with firm stems and not rubbery are fresh.
- Cauliflowers with flower heads that are lifted higher are better than those with flat heads.
- Additionally, pay attention to the flower head; if it has no holes, choose it. The tighter the cauliflower with fewer holes, the better.
- After purchasing, store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, which can keep for 3 – 4 days.

Add another 30g of peanut butter and minced garlic to the pan, gently stir to melt the butter.
In a bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 90g of honey, and mix well. Then pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the frying chicken, stirring well. Cook each side for about 2 – 3 minutes for the sauce to soak into the meat. When you see the sauce start to thicken, turn off the heat.
Arrange the broccoli and zucchini on a plate, then place the chicken on top, and it’s ready to enjoy.
-
Final product
The chicken remains moist and not dry. Cut a piece of chicken to enjoy with the savory and sweet sauce that will delight you with the deliciousness of the dish.
How to choose fresh and delicious chicken breast
- Choose pieces of breast with white skin as this indicates the chicken is mature, resulting in firmer and tastier meat. When pressing on the meat, it should be elastic, not mushy.
- Avoid choosing pieces of breast with many white streaks; the more streaks there are, the less fat and protein it contains, making it harder for the meat to absorb flavors during cooking.
