1 onion, finely chopped
200 ml double cream
50 g butter
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper.
Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add butter and let it melt. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Add Creamy Goodness:
Pour in double cream, dried thyme, and rosemary. Mix well and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
4. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the creamy garlic butter sauce over them.
Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
5. Serve and Garnish:
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
