Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (trimmed and sliced in half horizontally for 6 pieces.)
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup flour
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- 1
Prepare chicken breasts by slicing in half horizontally. If one end is a lot thicker than the other end, pound to even thickness.
- 2
Salt and pepper each piece of chicken, then lightly flour. Be sure to shake off all the extra flour. We are looking for a very light coat.
- 3
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place chicken in and brown on one side. If the skillet is too small to comfortably fit all 6 pieces, do this step in 2 batches. Or use a large electric skillet. Once golden on the bottom, flip to the other side.
- 4
As soon as you flip the chicken, add in the garlic and cook for 30 sec to 1 minute until lightly golden. (If doing in batches add first set of chicken breasts back in at this point)
- 5
Pour chicken broth, then cream into the pan. Sprinkle in the thyme. Allow to simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce is thickened. Serve.
