Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet until golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan and combine the browned bits into the sauce. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and stir well. Let the sauce reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is melted.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken just before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
