Anweisungen

For The Chicken

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and then season them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts and continue to cook for about 6 more minutes or until cooked through.

Remove the chicken from skillet and set aside.

For The Cream Sauce

Return the skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds or until fragrant.

Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and continue to stir constantly for 20 seconds. Whisk in the milk. Add the cream cheese, and continue to whisk until the cream cheese melts.

Stir in the basil, oregano, and thyme; let the sauce come to a slow simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and continue to cook for 1 minute, or until heated through.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley.

Serve.
