Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, dried thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

Step 10

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.

Step 11

Simmer the chicken in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through and let the flavors meld.

Step 12

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.

Step 13

Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the creamy garlic herb sauce.
