• By using a combination of butter and heavy cream, we achieve an incredibly tender and moist texture that’s rare in such a quick cooking time.
• The subtle spices and herbs we’ve included add depth to the dish without overpowering the main event.

Prep:
15 min

Cook:
25 min

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

2

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side.

3

Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Sprinkle the paprika and thyme over the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

5

Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the heavy cream. Bring the cream to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Storage & Reheating

After cooking, let the chicken rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing and serving. You can store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat the chicken in the skillet with a little bit of butter or oil until warmed through.
