This herb baked chicken with cream gravy is easy comfort food anytime of the year.

Comfort food. Whether you have been traipsing through the snow all afternoon or have had one "those" days at work it's likely that there is some sort of food that you crave. There is something that smooths the most frayed nerves, wipes the slate clean on the most chaotic day, and creates a happy place where-ever you are.

If baked chicken with cream gravy is not one of those things then more than likely, once you make this recipe, it will be. The chicken breast is meltingly tender and juicy with a thin crust of herbs. A little butter is melted on top during the baking to give the chicken both flavor and a more golden color. Once plated, velvety smooth cream gavy is ladled over the top, steaming and fragrant with the drippings from the chicken.

And if that doesn't entice you to give this a try I don't know what will.
