Creamy Garlic Chicken Breasts
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3 minutes to reduce slightly. Then, stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard.
Simmer the Sauce: Add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 4-5 minutes until it thickens.
Return Chicken to Skillet: Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes to warm the chicken through and coat it with the creamy sauce.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a fresh touch and serve the creamy garlic chicken hot.
This creamy, flavorful chicken with garlic sauce is perfect for a comforting dinner. Enjoy the rich, savory taste!
