Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh herbs, high-quality olive oil, and free-range chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the pan.
- Use a variety of herbs: The herbs in this dish are what give it its flavor. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Chicken in Herbed Cream Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is seared until golden brown, then simmered in a creamy sauce made with fresh herbs. The dish is finished with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and served over pasta or rice.
