Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Step 1: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, thyme, white pepper, nutmeg, and salt.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Lower the heat to medium and pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

  5. 5

    Step 5: Bring the cream to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to thicken.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the cream sauce over each piece.

  7. 7

    Step 7: Cover and let the chicken cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  8. 8

    Step 8: Serve the chicken hot, garnished with the remaining cream sauce.
