👩🍳 How to Make Creamy Chicken over Rice or Noodles
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until fully cooked and golden brown on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Simmer for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Combine and Simmer
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 4: Serve
Serve the creamy chicken over warm rice or noodles, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy a comforting, delicious meal that feels like home.
