Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add butter to the skillet.
Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chicken broth to the skillet and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce starts to thicken.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme and dried basil, and mix well.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them.
Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 3-4 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
