The first step is to season the chicken with ALL of the herbs. I decided on: this recipe.
- Thyme
- Rosemary

If you’d rather, you can substitute tarragon or basil for the oregano.

INGREDIENTS
For The Chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts (pounded 1/2-inch thin)
- 2 teaspoons each of onion powder and garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and dried rosemary*
- salt and pepper, to season
For The Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and dried rosemary
- 1 cup milk (or half and a half)*
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water, until smooth
INSTRUCTIONS
- Garlic, onion, and herb powders should be applied to chicken breasts. Add enough salt and pepper to the food.
- Cook chicken breasts in 1 tablespoon oil in a sizable skillet or pan over high heat until they are no longer pink inside (about 5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness). Transfer to a platter and leave alone.
- For about a minute, or until aromatic, add another 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the same pan or skillet. Sauté the garlic, along with the parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
- Add the milk (or cream) and season with pepper and salt to taste.
- Bring to a boil, then add the cornstarch mixture to the center of the pan and stir quickly until the sauce has slightly thickened. To help the sauce thicken more, lower the heat and gently simmer the dish for another minute.
