Transform plain chicken breasts into a creamy, flavorful dish with minimal effort. This recipe features a silky sauce made with butter, garlic, cream, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it foams and begins to turn golden.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook in the skillet until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Fold in the fresh herbs and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and warm for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Feel free to substitute the herbs and make it dairy-free with coconut milk and nutritional yeast.
