Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce
This creamy white wine chicken is an effortlessly elegant dish that’s quick enough for a weeknight but impressive enough for company.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 1 pinch Herbs de Provence or Italian seasoning
- ½ cup heavy/whipping cream
- Chopped fresh parsley for serving, optional
Instructions
- Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and garlic powder, then dredge them in flour so they're nicely coated.
- Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes/side until golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside (chicken shouldn't be fully cooked yet).
- Add the wine and chicken broth to the pan and let it bubble for about a minute. Stir to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the remaining butter and the Herbs de Provence to the pan, and continue simmering for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cream and the chicken back into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.
Notes
I suggest reheating this recipe at a low heat so the sauce doesn't separate. Chicken is safe to eat when it has an internal temperature of 165F. Use an instant read thermometer to test for doneness.
