This Irish Chicken in Whiskey Cream Sauce is pure comfort on a plate—tender golden chicken cutlets simmered in a rich, garlicky Irish whiskey and cream sauce. Perfect for a cozy night in or a festive dinner, this elegant dish is low-carb, gluten-free, and full of indulgent flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or cutlets

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup Irish whiskey

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  4. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining butter and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds.

  5. Carefully add Irish whiskey and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce and cook off alcohol.

  6. Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

  7. Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for another 2 minutes to heat through.

  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Pairs beautifully with mashed cauliflower, zucchini noodles, or roasted vegetables.

  • Substitute turkey cutlets for a delicious twist.

  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and ghee instead of butter.
