Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (or fresh parsley for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and parsley.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken and set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Garlic Herb Sauce:

  1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the chicken stock and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  3. Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and parsley. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

3️⃣ Combine and Serve:

  1. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
