I don't know about you, but I LOVE creamy sauces for chicken, particularly as the temperature starts dropping and the weather makes you crave comfort food.
Given that I always have a surplus of rosemary in my yard, because for some reason it refuses to die like all of my other plant victims, it seemed way overdue that I start including some recipes to use up the herb here on the blog ( hint hint, more recipes that use rosemary to come! )
Bonus: this rosemary sauce recipe is an easy cream sauce for chicken that anyone can make. When I was first learning how to cook, recipes like this were so much fun! This creamy sauce is a great base that you should feel free to play around with - add different herbs or garlic, onions, etc.
Plus, it's simple enough to make on a weeknight, no matter your skill level.

Chicken with Creamy Rosemary Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 large chicken breasts OR 4 cutlets
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream aka heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 2 Tablespoons fresh Rosemary chopped
Instructions
To Make the Chicken
- If you have two large chicken breasts, slice each one in in half horizontally in order to make four cutlets total.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil. Let the olive oil heat up, then add the chicken to the pan.
- Cook the chicken for four minutes without moving it around in the pan. Then flip each piece and cook it for another four minutes. Set aside on a clean plate.
To Make the Creamy Rosemary Sauce
- In the same pan, add all remaining ingredients (butter, cream, broth, garlic, black pepper, and rosemary) and stir to combine, making sure to break up any bits and pieces left in the pan from cooking the chicken to combine those into the sauce as well.
- Stirring occasionally, let the sauce simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and ladle the sauce over it. Allow it to warm in the simmering sauce for 1 min.
- Remove the pan with the chicken and creamy rosemary sauce from the heat and serve over pasta, rice, zoodles, or cauliflower rice! Optional: Top with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary for garnish.
If white had a flavor it would be this…
Before i cooked my garlic floured chicken i placed a diced shallot, two finely chopped garlics and a teaspoon of capers in a pan with a tablespoon of butter and then added about 150ml of dry white wine to reduce. Adds a lot of flavour to the chicken once cooked and makes for a wonderful flavour when making the sauce also. I additionally added mushrooms and a small handful of diced bacon too. Served over brown rice with vegetables. Delicious.
That sounds more like chicken picatta rather than rosemary cream sauce.
Agree! That's not even the same recipe! Lol
I tried this recipe on valentines day with some sautéed vegetables, corn pie, and some fried apples as my side dishes and when I tell it was fantastic I love this recipe and I will be trying it again my kids loved it also.
I added some pepper, a sprig of fresh tyme & a can of low sodium cream of mushroom. Initially I felt like it needed a bit more flavor and adding these ingredients really helped accomplish that. Love the simplicity of this recipe and the quick preparation too!
