Description
A creamy and flavorful chicken dish that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, oregano, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the creamy sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and herbs for an hour before cooking.
- Substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
