Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried thyme. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them. Let them simmer for 5-7 minutes to absorb the flavors and warm through.

Step 7

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
