This chicken recipe will no doubt become your new go-to dish after a long and busy day. With no heavy cream and dairy free options available, this dish weighs in at only 300 calories per serve. What else could you want?

CREAMY HERB CHICKEN

Significantly lighter on calories than our Creamy Dijon Chicken and our Easy Creamy Chicken Marsala, this recipe is low carb and gluten free with just under 5g of carbs per serve! What did I do? Picture this: Juicy, tender chicken breasts, simmered in a flavourful and creamy herb sauce with a hint of garlic – HELLO easy weekday meal.

CREAMY HERB SAUCE

While some of our favourite dishes incorporate cream for a thick, velvety sauce like our Creamy Garlic Scallops and our Creamy Chicken Francese, this recipe requires no cream, making it much lighter on the waistline. Despite having no cream, I still managed to achieve a beautiful, lush texture with aromatic herbs, chicken juice, garlic and cornstarch. This dish is a fantastic low calorie option for anyone craving something creamy, without the calorie allowance.

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY HERB CHICKEN

If you know me by now, you’d know I’m addicted to one pan creamy chicken recipes. We have Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken Piccata’s and Sun Dried Tomato Parmesan Chickens coming out of our ears around here! But another one pan dish can’t hurt right? Just like those recipes, this whole thing is super easy and loaded with flavour. Using one pan allows us to recycle those herby, chicken juices to create a beautiful creamy sauce.

First, you’re going to season your chicken in all of the herbs. For this recipe, I used:

Thyme Rosemary Parsley

You can use tarragon, or basil with Oregano if you prefer. Then you’re going to fry said chicken breasts, remove them from the pan, make your creamy herb chicken sauce, and now for the best part – lick your fingers. See? E.A.S.Y.

Once you’re done, load your chicken onto a plate with some of your chosen sides and drench with creamy herb sauce.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CREAMY HERB CHICKEN

One of the benefits that comes with making an extra saucy dish – you need something to soak up the sauce! I would recommend our Buttery Mashed Cauliflower to keep it low carb, or our Browned Butter Mashed Potato if you’re feeling a little naughty.
