Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cups dry sherry
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet 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 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth and sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Allow the liquid to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and mix well to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Simmer for an additional 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
