Instructions
Creating a delicious Creamy Chicken and Herb Skillet is an effortless process. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat the Oil: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
3. Remove Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
5. Add Herbs: Sprinkle the dried herbs into the cream, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Return Chicken: Place the chicken back into the skillet, spooning the creamy herb sauce over each piece. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld flavors together.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve warm for a comforting home-cooked meal.
These easy steps will yield an incredible creamy chicken dish that delights the senses!
