A comforting and flavorful chicken dish with a rich, creamy sauce that is perfect for special occasions or weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup plain all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Flatten each chicken breast to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  2. Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper, and lightly coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour.
  3. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken breasts for about 4–5 minutes on each side.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  5. Lower the heat, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the white wine and chicken stock, scraping any fond from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to bubble and reduce for a few minutes.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and parsley, simmering gently until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Return the chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over each piece, and warm through for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Plate the chicken, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with a lemon wedge before serving.

Notes

For variations, consider adding fresh herbs, a pinch of red pepper flakes for spice, or mushrooms to the sauce.
