Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, stirring and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, whisking continuously until the cheeses melt and the sauce is smooth.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the dish simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and sauce before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a crusty baguette to soak up the sauce.
