Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with the butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits for added flavor.
Lower the heat to medium-low, then stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, rosemary, and thyme. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Grate the parmesan cheese and add it to the skillet, stirring until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Allow them to cook in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes so they absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top just before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve hot, optionally accompanied by mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
