Ingredients

  • 2 whole chicken breasts sliced lengthwise (about 1.5 lb)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasonings
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh herbs thyme, rosemary, sage

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts halves with Italian seasonings, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet with oil on a medium flame, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes until they turn slightly golden. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  • To the same skillet add the minced garlic and cook for a minute.
  • Add the chicken broth and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the whipping cream along with the fresh herbs and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce begins to slightly thicken.
  • Transfer the chicken back to the skillet along with the juices from the chicken and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Once done, garnish the creamy herbed chicken with fresh herbs and serve the chicken with some veggies on the side.

Notes

  • Select chicken breasts that are similar in size. 
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise for faster cooking. 
  • Don’t overcook the chicken or it will be rubbery. 
  • You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenders if you prefer.
  • Experiment with seasonings and fresh herbs to find a combination that you love. 
  • Take care not to over brown the garlic or it can become bitter. 
  • For extra flavor, saute mushrooms and add them to the sauce.
