🐔 Creamy Garlic Chicken 🧄

Savor Every Bite of This Garlic-Infused Delight – Perfect for Busy Weeknights!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Season the Chicken: Liberally season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook until each side is golden and the chicken is fully cooked, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it becomes aromatic. Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Sprinkle in the chopped thyme and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.
4. Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
