Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts

Salt & pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Flour for dredging

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoons butter, divided

1/2 cup dry white wine

1/3 cup chicken broth

1 pinch Herbs de Provence (or Italian seasoning)

1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream

Chopped fresh parsley, optional, for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thinner cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then dredge each piece in flour until fully coated.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Pour in the wine and chicken broth. Let it bubble for about a minute while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the Herbs de Provence. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cream, then return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Sauté mushrooms before adding wine for extra flavor.
  • Use white grape juice or chicken broth as a wine substitute.
  • Add parmesan for extra creaminess.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts.
  • Red pepper flakes can be added for a spicy kick.
  • Use gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently with added broth or cream if needed.
