How to Make Baked Chicken Breasts With Horseradish Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until lightly browned.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each) in a baking dish.
  8. Spoon half of the horseradish sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Broil for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the chicken (optional).
  11. Reheat the remaining sauce gently and serve over the baked chicken breasts.
