Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts pounded ½-inch thin
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley fresh, chopped
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon salt to season
- ¼ teaspoon pepper to season
For The Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic minced, or 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon parsley fresh, chopped
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup milk or half and half
- ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water until smooth
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon pepper to taste
Instructions
- Coat chicken breasts with the onion and garlic powders and herbs. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken breasts until opaque and no longer pink inside (about 5 minutes each side, depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
- To the same pan or skillet, heat another 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sauté garlic, with parsley, thyme and rosemary, for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Stir in milk (or cream); season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring to a boil; add the cornstarch mixture to the centre of the pan, quickly stirring, until sauce has thickened slightly. Reduce heat and simmer gently for a further minute to allow the sauce to thicken more.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Tips:
- If you don't like thyme or rosemary, substitute these with basil and oregano, or use tarragon.
- For a dairy free option, I find cashew milk the best in flavour. You can also use almond milk or rice milk. Yes, heavy cream can be substituted!
