Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts skinless, boneless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup white wine such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc
- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the chicken with the white wine sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired. Serve with pasta.
