Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large Green bell peppers, sliced
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides. Lightly dredge them in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the sliced green bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Pour the dry white wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet once again and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 more minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
