Ingredients
Scale
Sauce:
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 EACH: onion powder, oregano, basil, parsley
Chicken/Other:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons parsley
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ cup dry white wine (see notes)
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Pound them to a ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and parsley.
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Set aside.
Deglaze the Pan: Turn off the heat and add the white wine to the skillet. Turn the heat back to medium and use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
Make the Roux: Add the butter and flour to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
Add the Sauce: Gradually add the sauce mixture from step 1 to the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 8 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Finish the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and smooth. Stir in the lemon juice.
Combine and Serve: Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Heat through for 5 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
