Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whiskey can substitute with brandy or bourbon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced fresh garlic enhances flavor

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken breasts and sear them until golden brown on both sides.
  3. Pour in the whiskey and allow it to simmer for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
  4. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and parsley.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently. For a deeper flavor, let the whiskey simmer longer before adding the cream. You can also add mushrooms or spinach for extra texture.
