  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
