Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

Step 5

Add the heavy cream and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add thyme and rosemary, mixing into the sauce.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, simmer in the sauce, and cover the skillet. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the creamy chicken with your choice of side such as pasta, rice, or a fresh salad.
