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
  • 12 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.
