Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Wine Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ cup half and half you can also use heavy cream or evaporated milk
- chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prep. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the chicken. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes. DO NOT move it around in the pan. Using tongs, flip the chicken over and continue to cook for 6 more minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken from the skillet to a plate, cover, and set aside.
- Sauté. To the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in the garlic, salt, and pepper; cook for 20 seconds or until fragrant.
- Deglaze with wine. Add wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, or until half of the wine has reduced.
- Make the sauce. Stir in thyme and half-and-half. Reduce heat to slowly bring to a boil; place chicken breasts back in the skillet and leave to simmer and thicken for about 4 minutes.
- Serve. Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chicken with fresh chopped parsley and serve!
