Coat chicken breasts with herbs, onion and garlic powders; generously season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 1 T. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook chicken until no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. If the chicken breasts are large, cook them longer. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
In the same skillet, heat 2 t. olive oil; sauté garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary for about 1 minute or until fragrant; stir in milk; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; add cornstarch mixture to the center of the skillet, quickly stirring, until sauce has thickened slightly; reduce heat; simmer for 1 minute to allow sauce to thicken a bit. Return chicken to the skillet; sprinkle with more herbs, if desired.
Serve immediately.
4 servings.
*You can substitute basil and oregano or tarragon for the thyme and rosemary, if desired.
