  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
  5. Pour in heavy cream, stirring well, then return chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and gravy is velvety.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are flattened to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with milk for a lighter version.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the gravy.
