Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until they are caramelized and golden brown.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits and let the wine reduce for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the onion sauce over the top. Cook for 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
