Ingredients

chicken breasts
garlic powder
onion powder
salt & black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
white wine or chicken broth
garlic
fresh parsley
fresh thyme
heavy cream
cornstarch

Step by step

The chicken breast is seasoned and fried lightly in the pan, then set to the side while you quickly whip up this decadent creamy sauce full of flavor!
Add herbs to the pan and cook for one minute.
Deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth to release all of that delicious flavor from the bottom.
Add the cream and bring to a simmer.
Make a simple cornstarch slurry to thicken the white sauce, then return the chicken to the pan for a few moments and serve!

Seriously, the creamy garlic herb white sauce is ah-mazing and you will find yourself craving it if you’re a garlic fan like I am! It’s the best sauce ever!

Variations
