Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs) of boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
2 cups of chicken broth
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Dust the seasoned chicken breasts in flour, ensuring a light and even coating.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the dredged chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the remaining flour over the onion and garlic, cooking for an additional minute while stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in gravy. Simmer and cover, cooking for another 30-35 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, allowing the gravy to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
