What’s in this Creamy Herb Chicken Recipe?

There’s something so comforting about chicken cooked in a creamy sauce, and this creamy garlic herb chicken delivers! Ready in under an hour, this family favorite makes for an easy weekday meal and will have everyone leaving the dinner table happy and full. 

Chicken Breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best in this recipe, but you could also use thighs. Sour Cream: Adds tanginess and creaminess. Cream Cheese: Adds tanginess, creaminess, and richness. Heavy Cream: Thins the creamy coating without making it taste less rich. Herbs + Spices: A combination of minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and fresh parsley make this chicken taste super herbal and savory.

Pro Tip: Feel free to swap the rosemary and thyme for other herbs, such as sage, oregano, marjoram, basil, or tarragon.

Variations on Creamy Herbed Chicken

This recipe is easy to customize to your liking. Feel free to substitute using your favorite herbs and spices. You can also swap out the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt and the heavy cream for half-and-half for a slightly healthier twist.

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through. I do not recommend freezing this dish.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this creamy herb chicken with a side of steamed green beans and mashed potatoes (pictured) or over a bed of pasta or rice!
