Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it and pick up all the flavorful brown bits.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, butter, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir until the sauce is well combined and starts to thicken slightly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken to coat it evenly.
- Continue to simmer the chicken and sauce together for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and fully coated in the creamy garlic sauce.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
