Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. chicken breast 2 large chicken breasts
  • ½ yellow onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp Herbs de Provence
  • Fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt & pepper

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken breasts lengthwise in 2-3 pieces to have thinner slices. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Chop the onion and garlic cloves.
  3. In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes per side until golden. It does not need to be completely cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. If the skillet is dry after removing the chicken, add 1 more tbsp of olive oil. Fry the onion for a few minutes until soft and golden, then add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds.
  5. Add the flour, mix well and cook for 10-20 seconds. Then, add the wine and mix well. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated, and add the broth. Simmer for 1 minute, add the herbs and mix.
  6. Add the cream, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. After a couple of minutes, put the chicken back in the pan and cook for 5 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • The amounts suggested yield a generous amount of sauce. 
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts, if you wish.
