Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and dried thyme. Stir and let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
  5. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve the creamy garlic chicken hot over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
