Whether served with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables, this dish is sure to impress with its creamy texture, aromatic aroma, and the hint of white wine that elevates it to a gourmet level.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. 1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
   2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
   3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   4. Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
   5. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and dried thyme to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
   6. Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let the chicken cook in the sauce for about 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
   7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
   8. Stir in the butter until melted and well incorporated into the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
   9. Place the chicken back into the skillet and coat each breast with the creamy white wine sauce.
   10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
