Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 servings Cooked basmati rice or egg noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with the salt, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Rub the spices evenly over both sides of each piece of chicken.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken, then lower the heat and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the dish just before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

Step 8

Serve the creamed spiced chicken warm, either over cooked basmati rice, egg noodles, or on its own. Enjoy!
