Description

A comforting, easy-to-make chicken dish that melts in your mouth, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken into the skillet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Add the minced garlic and pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
  5. Allow the broth to bubble for an additional 3-5 minutes, which will help thicken the sauce slightly.
  6. Before serving, garnish the chicken with fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer dark meat; cooking times may vary slightly. Serve with herbed rice, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread.
