Creamy Garlic Chicken Delight
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a spacious skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, ensuring they are fully cooked through and beautifully browned. Once done, set the chicken aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until the kitchen is filled with the delightful aroma.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful browned bits. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Introduce the heavy cream, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir the ingredients together until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce achieves a delightful, slightly thickened consistency.
- Reintroduce the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. This step allows the succulent chicken to absorb the rich, creamy garlic sauce.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and generously garnish your creation with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the creamy garlic chicken over your favorite side dish—whether it’s velvety mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or a medley of perfectly steamed vegetables.
- Relish in the indulgence of your creamy garlic chicken creation!
