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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, and paprika.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy this comforting and delicious Mom's Chicken with your loved ones!
