Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and salt and pepper them. Cook until golden brown, then flip and salt and pepper again. Continue cooking until the opposite side is also brown (approximately 2 minutes on each side).

Pour in the chicken broth, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the broth mostly evaporates (about 10 minutes).
1 cup chicken broth
Once the broth has cooked down, remove the chicken from the pan and turn off the heat, but leave the pan on the stove eye.
Have a wooden spoon handy and pour the cream into the pan. Immediately start stirring and continue until the pan remnants are fully blended in with the cream and the cream is warm and thick. This should take just a few minutes.
