A quick and comforting creamy herb chicken with a rich buttery sauce, perfect for weeknights or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, basil)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
  4. Add minced garlic to the hot pan and sauté just 30 seconds until fragrant—don’t let it burn.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  7. Fold in chopped fresh herbs and taste; season with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over each piece, and warm for 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs and a little extra grated Parmesan if you like.

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half and reduce butter. Adjust herbs according to preference.
