Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh poultry herb mix (sage, thyme, rosemary)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove chicken and set aside.
- Reduce Wine (or Broth): Add white wine (or chicken broth) and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir and let it bubble for a few minutes until it reduces significantly.
- Make Sauce and Simmer Chicken: Stir in heavy cream and chopped herbs. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Serve: Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Poultry Herb Mix: You can find pre-mixed poultry herbs in the fresh herb section of most grocery stores.
- Herbs: Chop the herbs finely for a smoother sauce.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
