Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
1 cup heavy cream
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté Aromatics:
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Season the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts evenly with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Cook the Chicken:
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
Simmer in Cream:
Pour in the heavy cream and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with rice, flatbread, or roasted vegetables.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it.
You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
Adjust spices to taste for a milder or bolder flavor.
