4-Ingredient Creamy Herb Butter Chicken
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 4 |
| Dry herb seasoning mix | 1 packet (about 1 ounce) |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Butter | 4 tablespoons |
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Brown the Chicken
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, allowing them to develop a light golden crust.
2. Add the Seasoning and Cream
Sprinkle the herb seasoning mix evenly over the chicken. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, then reduce the heat to low. Spoon a little of the cream sauce over each chicken breast to coat them evenly.
3. Simmer Until Tender
Cover the skillet with a lid and let everything cook gently for 12–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). During this time, the cream will reduce into a rich, smooth sauce.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the chicken to serving plates and generously spoon the creamy herb butter sauce over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, steamed rice, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
