Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 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 onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon parsley

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons parsley
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce Preparation

  • 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 sauce mixture: In a large measuring cup with a spout, combine the chicken broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, honey, chicken bouillon cube, onion powder, oregano, basil, and parsley. Set this sauce mixture aside for later use.
  2. Slice and pound the chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner pieces. Lay the slices between pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound using the textured side of a meat mallet until about ½ inch thick, ensuring even cooking.
  3. Season the chicken: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and parsley evenly on both sides of each chicken slice to enhance flavor.
  4. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the chicken slices for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Deglaze the pan and cook garlic: Turn off the heat briefly, then add the dry white wine to the skillet. Turn heat back to medium and use a silicone spatula to scrape up the browned bits (fond) from the bottom and sides of the skillet. Allow the wine to gently bubble and reduce for 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
  6. Make the roux: Add the butter and flour to the skillet, stirring constantly to combine. Cook this mixture for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste and develop a creamy base for the sauce.
  7. Add the prepared sauce mixture: Slowly pour the sauce ingredients (prepared in step 1) into the skillet in small splashes while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Allow it to simmer and reduce for about 8 minutes, thickening the sauce.
  8. Finish the sauce with cheese and lemon: Reduce the heat to low and gradually sprinkle in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and fully incorporated. Stir in the fresh lemon juice to add brightness and balance to the sauce.
  9. Reintroduce the chicken: Place the seared chicken slices back into the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Let the chicken heat through for about 5 minutes or until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
  10. Serve: Garnish with additional parsley and serve the Garlic Parmesan Chicken alongside mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables for a complete, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best flavor; substitute with additional chicken broth if preferred.
  • Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking and tenderness.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, extend simmering time slightly while stirring.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking the chicken.
