Upgrade your chicken dinner with this Creamy Herb Chicken recipe. You will want some bread to soak up all the silky, luscious, and slightly tangy cream sauce that covers perfectly seasoned and tender chicken breasts!
Can I Use Fresh Herbs Instead Of Dried Ones?
Absolutely! If you have all (or some) of the herbs listed in the recipe fresh, by all means, use them. Remember that fresh herbs are not as potent as dried ones, so use double the amount called for.
What Can I Use Instead Of Flour For Dredging The Chicken?
You can use cornstarch instead of flour if you don’t or can’t use flour.
How Can I Reduce The Fat Content In This Dish?
To reduce the fat content, use skim milk instead of whole milk, and use half and half instead of sour cream. The sauce might be thinner, but it will still taste delicious.
Cook’s Tip
- Make sure the skillet is hot and the oil is hot before placing the chicken breasts in it so they brown and sear properly.
- Remember to always season the chicken before dredging it in flour.
- Do not overcook the chicken or it will dry out and become tough.
