A quick and elegant dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich, creamy garlic sauce, perfect for any occasion.

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 and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each chicken breast and shake off excess.
  3. Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add 3 tablespoons of butter and olive oil, and sear chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Keep warm on a plate.
  4. In the same pan, lower heat and add remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in white wine and chicken stock, scraping browned bits. Let bubble and reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and chopped parsley, then simmer until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning.
  7. Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over it, and warm for 1–2 minutes.
  8. Plate chicken, drizzle with sauce, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For an even more luxurious dish, consider serving over pasta or creamy mashed potatoes.
