Savor the simplicity of One-Pan Chicken with Creamy Chive Sauce. Juicy chicken breasts simmered in a rich, velvety sauce make for an effortless, flavorful meal—easy instructions included!

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to enhance the flavor. Allow it to simmer for a minute or two.
  3. Step 3: Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir well to combine with the broth. Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the chopped chives and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce.
  5. Step 5: Simmer everything together for an additional 2 minutes until heated through. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

  • For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and consider reheating gently to maintain the creaminess of the sauce. When reheating, warm the chicken on low heat in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to loosen the sauce. Serve this dish alongside steamed vegetables or over a bed of fluffy rice to soak up the delicious creamy sauce. For an extra burst of flavor, try adding some grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce just before serving; it complements the chives beautifully!
