Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ chicken bouillon cube
  • ¾ cup dry white wine
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, basil, and parsley. Set aside.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. Then add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, honey, and crumble in the chicken bouillon cube. Stir well to combine.
  5. Simmer Sauce: Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and flavors meld together.
  6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some sauce over them, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the chicken to absorb the sauce flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and sauce before serving. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides.

Notes

  • If white wine is not available, substitute with additional chicken broth or a non-alcoholic white wine alternative.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer a little longer or add a cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) during the sauce step.
  • Adjust honey amount to taste for sweetness balance.
  • Use fresh herbs for garnish for optimum flavor and presentation.
