Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, bone-in and skin-on
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the broth to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, and paprika.
  7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
  8. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve the Mom's Chicken hot, with additional sauce spooned over the top if desired.
  10. Enjoy this comforting and delicious Mom's Chicken with your loved ones!
