Creamy Herb Chicken – This recipe is quick, simple, and made using common ingredients. It’s ready in about 30 minutes, and the whole family will enjoy this weekday favorite! Another creamy chicken dish is on the way, this time in the form of chicken with a creamy herb sauce. The sauce is extremely delicious. This is a wonderful dish that is low in calories and velvety without the use of heavy cream! This has already been a huge hit with everyone. Because that sauce is so tasty. I mean, once everyone has finished, I go at it with a spoon and come dangerously near to licking the pan. Don’t pass judgment on me until you’ve tried it. That herb combo is fantastic! However, if you wanted to experiment, you might use rosemary, thyme, or even tarragon. Herb sauces are my absolute favorite! They contain a lot of flavor for such a small amount of ingredients.

What Herbs Should I Use In This Simple Herb Chicken Recipe?

I used the usual chicken seasoning blend of sage, thyme, and rosemary, but you may be creative if you wish.

If you have fresh herbs in your garden, this is the recipe for you.

I haven’t tried this recipe with dried herbs, but you might use a dry herb combination (such as Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence) or individual dry herbs. Start with tiny amounts, taste, and adjust as needed because certain herbs taste more concentrated when dried.

INGREDIENTS

• garlic powder chicken breasts
• powdered onion
• seasoned with salt and pepper
• olive oil 
• Chicken broth
• garlic
• parsley, fresh
• thyme, fresh
• a thick cream
• cornstarch

How To Make Creamy Herb Chicken?

1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before dredging in flour and sautéing in butter and oil.
2. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned.
3. Remove the chicken from the pan and create the sauce by adding the Dijon, chicken broth, cream, and herbs to the pan.
4. Return the chicken to the pan and cook for a few minutes more.

What Should You Serve With Creamy Herb Chicken?

Rice, mashed potatoes (well, any sort of potato), steamed vegetables (try broccoli or carrots! ), or pasta are all good accompaniments to this creamy chicken dish.

The Best Side Dish To Accompany Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken:

• Because the chicken and sauce are so flavorful, basic vegetable sides work best.
• Sautéed cauliflower rice or mash would be ideal, with roasted Brussels sprouts or broccoli for extra vegetables.
• If you don’t mind some carbohydrates, roasted sweet potatoes or red potatoes, or my favorite mashed potatoes, would be great.

I hope you’re ready for a really comfortable flavor-packed supper that’s ideal for cold winter nights or whenever you’re in need of some comfort food!

Chicken Pan-Seared:

What’s your favorite way to prepare chicken? In the summer, I generally barbecue, but until the weather heats up, I’m all about that pan seared chicken. I also like this simple approach when I’m in a rush to get supper on the table.

So, how exactly do you pan sear chicken? It’s really simple! This is the method I prefer:

1. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. Alternatively, butterfly and cut 12 ounce chicken breasts in half (cut right through their thickness into 2 portions).
2. Preheat a big heavy-bottomed pan to medium-high heat.
3. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
4. Drizzle just enough olive oil onto the hot skillet (I’ve found that 1 1/2 Tbsps. works well for me).
   Add the chicken breasts in an equal layer and cook, undisturbed, for 6–7 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.
5. I also prefer to cover the skillet with a splatter screen immediately after adding the chicken to reduce the splattery, greasy mess.
6. Cook for 5–7 minutes on the second side, or until the chicken registers 165 degrees F in the middle (I highly recommend using an instant read thermometer, overcooked chicken breasts will be dry and tough).
7. Transfer to a dish, tent with foil, and set aside for a few minutes before serving to let the fluids to redistribute.
