👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
2. Make the Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan for extra flavor. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
3. Bring It All Together
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the creamy sauce. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Spoon the creamy chicken over warm cooked rice or noodles. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
