Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Frangelico liqueur
• 1 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Hazelnuts, toasted and chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are thick, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour-coated chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped shallots for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and translucent.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the Frangelico liqueur. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.

Step 6

Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it reduce until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Let them simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and toasted hazelnuts, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Frangelico hot over pasta, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
