A lady from church brought this over when I had my second baby. I remember thinking there was no way something so simple could taste that rich. Now I make it at least twice a month when the week gets
Simple, rich, and incredibly satisfying, this 4-Ingredient Creamy Herb Butter Chicken is the ultimate weeknight savior. By combining tender chicken breasts with a velvety, herb-infused cream sauce, you get a restaurant-quality dish with almost zero prep work. The secret lies in letting the chicken simmer directly in the seasoned cream, which creates a luscious, silky gravy that begs to be spooned over a bed of warm rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. It’s comforting home cooking at its absolute easiest.
4-Ingredient Creamy Herb Butter Chicken – Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) dry herb seasoning mix
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Sear the Chicken: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5/6 minutes per side, until they are lightly golden on the outside.
- Season and Add Cream: Sprinkle the dry herb seasoning mix evenly over the chicken, then pour the heavy cream into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and spoon some of the cream over the tops of the chicken breasts.
- Simmer and Thicken: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 12/15 minutes. The chicken should be completely cooked through, and the sauce will thicken into a silky, pale golden gravy.
- Serve: Plate the chicken hot, spooning plenty of the rich herb butter sauce over the top. Serve alongside your favorite potatoes, noodles, or rice.
