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 cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits from cooking the chicken.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried basil to the skillet. Stir the ingredients together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve the savory herb chicken in creamy garlic sauce with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your choice of pasta for a complete meal.
