Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine, chicken broth, thyme, basil, and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cream and Parmesan and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened. Add the parsley and serve.
Potential changes & improvements

Common Mistakes
Be sure not to overcook the chicken, or it will be dry. The sauce should be thick and creamy, not watery. If it’s too thick, you can thin it out with a little chicken broth or cream.
