Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces shallots, finely minced
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.75 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups red or green seedless grapes
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced shallots and garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook and reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Step 7
Add the grapes to the skillet and stir to combine. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spooning the sauce and grapes over the chicken.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
Step 9
Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
