Instructions

- Cook until heated up and everything is fully incorporated. Set aside and keep warm. Season the chicken halves with salt and additional paprika.
- Melt the remaining 1 tbsp of butter with the oil in a large frying pan. When hot, sauté the chicken in the pan for about 3 minutes per side, or until springy when pressed.
- Transfer the breasts to a serving plate. Deglaze the pan with the heavy cream.
- Pour in the velouté sauce mixed with the onions. Cook until heated through. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with steamed rice and green veggies.
