Chicken in White Wine Sauce

Here’s a delightful recipe for Chicken in White Wine Sauce! This dish combines tender chicken with a creamy, flavorful white wine sauce, making it perfect for a cozy dinner or an elegant meal with guests.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
    • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Sear the Chicken:
    • Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Pour in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by about half.
    • Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, thyme, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
    • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb some of the sauce.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, and serve warm. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
