Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.75 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are even in thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it reduce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let the chicken cook in the sauce for an additional 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top of the chicken.
Serve the chicken warm with sauce drizzled over it. Garnish with optional lemon slices for an extra touch of freshness.
