Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear them for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour the white wine into the skillet, stirring constantly to deglaze the pan and release browned bits from the bottom.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
