The BEST garlic chicken! Tender chicken breasts served in a mouth-watering garlic cream sauce with lightly caramelized onions and fragrant thyme are a winning dinner, every time!

Provided by Monica | Nourish and Fete

Categories     Main

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large (boneless, skinless chicken breasts)
kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1-2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter (divided)
1/2 medium yellow onion (chopped)
12-15 whole cloves peeled garlic
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1/2 cup heavy cream
fresh thyme, parsley, and lemon wedges, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise so you have 4 thin pieces. Sprinkle both sides of each piece lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Warm the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until it forms a nice golden crust and is cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Using the back of a knife, smash half of the garlic cloves, then add both the smashed and whole cloves to the pan with the onions. Cook 2-3 minutes more, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned on the outside, then add chicken broth, lemon juice, and thyme. Scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze any browned bits, and let the sauce simmer for about 4 minutes. It should be noticeably reduced.
  • Reduce heat again to medium-low, then stir in the cream. Return chicken to the skillet and let everything simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors. Garnish with fresh thyme and parsley, lemon wedges, and a little more black pepper, as desired. Serve and enjoy!

Pan-Seared Chicken with Thyme image

A simple pan sauce can transform an everyday boneless, skinless chicken breast into a quick and delicious meal. For a finishing touch, garnish with a sprig of thyme.

Provided by Swanson®

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Swanson®

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut in half lengthwise to make thin cutlets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup flour
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup Swanson® Chicken Stock
¼ cup white wine
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 teaspoons cold butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge both sides of chicken pieces in flour.
  • Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken. (If the chicken browns too quickly, reduce heat.) Cook, turning as needed, until chicken is browned on both sides, is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 4 or 5 minutes total on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
  • In the same pan, reduce heat to low and add thyme sprigs and cook until aromatic, 1 or 2 minutes. Increase heat to high; pour in Swanson® Chicken Stock and wine. Stir up browned bits to deglaze the pan. Add the chicken bouillon granules and mix well. Reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce reduces and is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
  • Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Add to the pan any accumulated juices from the tented chicken plate. Finish the sauce by whisking in the cold butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon sauce over chicken before serving.
