Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 cups dry sherry
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure they cook uniformly.
Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the dry sherry into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the sherry simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow this to cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Allow them to simmer gently in the sauce for 5 minutes to reheat and absorb the flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve the chicken hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
