One of my absolute favourites in this regard is Chicken with Bermuda Onion Cream Sauce. This delectable dish captures the delicate, yet savory profile that is characteristic of my blend of Creole and French culinary inheritance, with a layer of confluence that makes it all the more enticing.
Health Benefits and Flavor Profile
The Chicken with Bermuda Onion Cream Sauce ensures you not only get a mouthful of delight but a good pack of nutritional benefits. Chicken, a lean protein, forms the heart of this recipe, immediately making it an excellent choice for those seeking a muscle-friendly, heart-healthy option. The addition of olive oil, a rich source of monounsaturated fats, adds beneficial antioxidants that give this dish a healthy boost. Furthermore, garlic used in this recipe is globally recognized for its potential in reducing cholesterol and blood pressure.
The real breakthrough, though, is the use of the Bermuda onion. This vegetable is not just a beautiful purple color; it is packed with powerful antioxidants and vitamin C. And, when sautéed to a delightful caramel hue, it delivers a sweet and savory depth of flavor that enrobes the chicken so wonderfully well in the cream sauce.

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Method
Step One
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan.

Step Three
In the same pan, add the sliced Bermuda onion and minced garlic. Saute these until the onions become translucent.
