Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Combine and Serve: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
