Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Season chicken breasts with paprika, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Add chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same skillet, pour in chicken broth, stirring to combine and deglaze the pan. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve this creamy chicken dish with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
