A quick and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

4 pieces chicken breasts (approx. 600g) (Ensure they are thawed if using frozen.)
2 tablespoons olive oil (For cooking the chicken.)
4 cloves garlic, minced (Fresh garlic adds the most flavor.)
1 cup heavy cream (Substitutes can include half-and-half or sour cream.)
1 cup chicken broth (Use low-sodium broth for better flavor.)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
to taste Salt and pepper (Adjust to preference.)
for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped (For serving.)

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine or grated Parmesan cheese.
