Chicken Tenderloins in Creamy White Sauce

This is one of my favorite sauces. I have seen the recipe a while ago at coolinarika, Croatian culinary web site (http://www.coolinarika.com/recept/pilece-trakice-u-yummy-umaku-sa-rizom ) The recipe sounded very good so I decided to give it a try.

I really liked the idea of adding Ranch dressing into the sauce. The dressing gives it a nice and interesting flavor. I prepare it a bit differently from the original recipe; I do not add garlic, and I combine whipping cream and milk (to make it less fattening:))), instead of using only whipping cream.

Here is the recipe and enjoy:

1 lb chicken tenderloins

1 Tbsp unsalted butter

1 Tbsp oil

1 cup whipping cream

1 cup 2% milk

2 Tbsp Ranch dressing

1 Tbsp flour

2 tsp paprika +as much as you like for chicken meat

dash of cayenne pepper

salt and pepper

In a large skillet heat oil and butter over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika and add to skillet. Cook on both sides until golden brown and completely cooked. Remove from skillet, reduce heat and add whipping cream and milk. Add flour and whisk until it's completely incorporated and mixture is smooth, stir in Ranch dressing and 2 Tbsp of paprika and bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture thickens. Add cayenne pepper; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Note: Try it with rice or baked potatoes.
