Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

- 1 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

- Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer; reduce for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Add heavy cream and mix well.
