Description

A delightful and easy recipe for Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken, featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich, flavorful sauce infused with garlic and aromatic herbs. Perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for quicker and more uniform cooking.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well to combine, incorporating the garlic.
  7. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, thyme, and basil. Stir and let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
  9. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, consider using fresh herbs instead of dried.
  • Adjust the sauce consistency by adding more chicken broth or cream if needed.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  • Variations include adding lemon juice and zest, sautéed mushrooms, or spinach and parmesan cheese.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2-3 months.
