Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 small Shallots (minced)
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.

Step 4

Pour in the dry white wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Add the chicken broth, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet again and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme leaves, and lemon juice, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and let it warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
