Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for searing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute), then deglaze with white wine, scraping up any bits from the pan.
- Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, thyme, and rosemary. Simmer on low until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Place seared chicken in the baking dish and pour sauce over it, ensuring it's well-coated.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Remove foil for the last 5 minutes for a golden finish.
