Description

A comforting dish of succulent chicken breasts bathed in a rich, velvety sauce made from heavy cream and chicken broth, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet, browning on both sides to develop flavor.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring everything to combine nicely.
  5. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10–15 minutes so the chicken absorbs those rich flavors.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven, baking for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

Don’t overcook the chicken; use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C). Experiment with different creams or add vegetables to enhance the dish.
