Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Lay the chicken breasts on a cutting board, and if necessary, pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling to combine with the oil.

Step 6

Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 9

Reduce the wine for 2-3 minutes, then pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
