Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the Chicken
Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine.
Bring to a gentle simmer, then add chopped thyme. Let the sauce reduce and thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
Combine and Serve
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over them.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
