Hopeful Heart Chicken

Preparation of Chicken Place the chicken breasts in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Chicken In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Preparing the Sauce In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly. Add the heavy cream, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Combining and Serving Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
