Ingredients
- Chicken fillet 4 pieces
- Thyme 3 sprigs
- Ground Dried Garlic 1 tablespoon

- Chicken Broth 5 fl oz
- 33% Cream 10 fl oz
- Garlic 1 clove
- Salt to taste
- Olive Oil 0 fl oz

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Remove the leaves from the thyme sprigs and chop them. Combine them with salt, dried garlic, the zest of one lemon, and chili flakes.
Step 2
Brush half of the mixture over the chicken, heat oil in a skillet, and sauté the meat for 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then pour 100 ml of water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and simmer the chicken until cooked through, about 10–15 minutes. To check if the meat is done, pierce it in the thickest part; if clear juices run out, the meat is ready.
Step 3
Transfer the chicken to a clean dish, then squeeze the juice of one lemon into the skillet. Add minced garlic, the remaining spice mixture, and broth. Bring to a boil and reduce until it reaches a thick sauce consistency.
Step 4
Pour the cream into the skillet, stir, return the chicken, and heat for 3–5 minutes. Add salt and sugar to taste. Serve garnished with fresh thyme and lemon wedges.
