Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Be generous with the seasonings to ensure the chicken is flavorful.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Cover the plate with aluminum foil to keep the chicken warm.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it has slightly thickened.
6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning them in the creamy sauce to coat them well. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
7. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken just before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
8. Serve the Great Simple Chicken hot with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy the deliciousness!
