Equipment

  • large skillet
  • gallon freezer bag
  • meat mallet
  • silicone spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup dry white wine see notes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons cold water, optional
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice see notes
  • Fresh Parsley to garnish

Sauce Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

Instructions
 

  • Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Place in a gallon freezer bag (or in between saran wrap) and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat completely dry.
  • Season each side with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge in the flour and tap off excess.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside and leave brown remnants in the pan.
  • Turn the heat off and add the wine, then set heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the skillet, this will add lots of flavor to the sauce.
  • Let it bubble gently until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the butter and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and seasonings. Bring the sauce to a boil.
  • If a thicker consistency is desired: Combine 2 tbsp. cornstarch with 2 tbsp. cold water until completely uniform in consistency. Slowly stir it into the bubbling sauce.
  • Reduce heat to low and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce on top. Cover partially, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir the fresh lemon juice into the sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.

Notes

Pro Tips: Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc are perfect dry white wines to use in this recipe. If you don't cook with wine, chicken broth can be used.
