- 1 cup Heavy Cream

- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
Liquids
- 1 cup Chicken Broth

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. This simple step ensures that each bite is flavorful.
- Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Then, deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
- Add Cream and Sage: Pour in the heavy cream and add the fresh sage. Stir well to combine, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the creamy sage sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh sage and quality chicken make a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Let it Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier meat.
- Taste as You Go: Always taste and adjust seasoning as needed for the best flavor.
- Pair with Wine: A nice white wine can enhance the dining experience when served alongside this dish.
