Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the unsalted chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 8
Stir in the heavy cream and butter, mixing until the butter has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 9
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them.
Step 10
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Step 12
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side.
