4-Ingredient Creamy Herb Butter Chicken
Tender chicken breasts are seared in butter, seasoned with a dry herb mix, and simmered in heavy cream until rich, velvety, and saucy. This simple four-ingredient skillet dinner is comforting, elegant, and perfect over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet dry herb seasoning mix about 1 oz
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foamy but not browned.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom.
- Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 5–6 minutes.
- Sprinkle the dry herb seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
- Pour the heavy cream into the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low or medium-low so the cream gently simmers.
- Spoon some of the cream sauce over the chicken.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through and no pink remains.
- Check once or twice while cooking and gently nudge the pan to prevent sticking.
- Cook until the sauce is pale, velvety, and thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Serve immediately with the cream sauce spooned over the chicken.
Notes
Keep the cream at a gentle simmer so the sauce stays smooth. Serve over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
