Ingredients

Scale

Sauce:

  • 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ chicken bouillon cube
  • ½ teaspoon EACH: onion powder, oregano, basil, parsley

Chicken/Other:

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons parsley
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ cup dry white wine
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Combine the sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside. Measure out remaining ingredients before beginning.
  2. Pound the Chicken: Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick.
  3. Season the Chicken: Season each side of the chicken with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  4. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.
  5. Deglaze the Pan: Turn the heat off. Add the wine and then set the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the skillet. Bring to a gentle bubble and reduce for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
  6. Make the Roux: Add the butter and flour and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  7. Add the Sauce: Add the sauce mixture (from step 1) in small splashes, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer and reduce for about 8 minutes.
  8. Finish the Sauce: Reduce heat to low and gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously. Stir in the lemon juice.
  9. Return the Chicken: Add the chicken back and spoon the sauce on top. Heat through for 5 minutes or until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
  10. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables of choice!
