Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts

- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup brandy
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully add the brandy to the skillet and let it simmer for a minute to burn off the alcohol.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your choice of side dish.
