Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until golden on both sides, about 5–6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onions to the same skillet with a pinch of salt. Cook on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 15–20 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken.
  6. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, add a splash of lemon juice at the end.
  • Double the sauce if you like it extra creamy.
  • Use boneless thighs for a juicier option.
