A quick and satisfying creamy herb chicken dish that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or small dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., thyme, parsley, basil)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and sear until the first side is golden (about 4-5 minutes). Flip and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. Lower the heat to medium, add butter to the skillet, and sauté garlic just until fragrant (about 30-45 seconds).
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and raise the heat to a gentle simmer. Add grated Parmesan and stir until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle fresh herbs, and simmer until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over each breast and garnishing with additional herbs.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for better sear; use high heat initially. If sauce is too thick, thin with milk or stock. Let chicken rest in sauce before serving.
