Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate. Add butter to the skillet and use a whisk to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add chicken broth and herbs and simmer for a few minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Add chicken and any juices that have collected on the plate back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve as desired.
