Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Frangelico liqueur
- 1 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Hazelnuts, toasted and chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are thick, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour-coated chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped shallots for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and translucent.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the Frangelico liqueur. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it reduce until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Let them simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and toasted hazelnuts, if desired.
Serve the Chicken Frangelico hot over pasta, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
