Step-by-Step

1

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

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

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

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

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

6

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

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

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