Ingredients

• Chicken: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• White Wine: 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
• Chicken Broth: 1 cup
• Cream: 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Aromatics: 1 onion (finely chopped), 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• Herbs: 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Butter and Oil: 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional Add-ins: Sliced mushrooms, and fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant about 2-3 minutes.
3. Deglaze with Wine: Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for about 5 minutes until it reduces by half.
4. Add Broth and Cream: Stir in the chicken broth and dried herbs. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce cook for another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Cover and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the chicken with the white wine sauce over rice, pasta, or with a side of vegetables.
