Ingredients
  

Flavorful Sauce

  • About 1 and 3/4 cups of chicken broth
  • Just a cozy ¼ cup of heavy cream
  • Just a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
  • Just a teaspoon of mustard powder
  • A sweet teaspoon honey
  • Just half of a chicken bouillon cube
  • ½ teaspoon each onion powder oregano, basil, and parsley

Meat/Other

  • Two generous boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • A pinch of salt and pepper
  • - A couple of teaspoons of fresh parsley
  • A splash or two of olive oil
  • ¾ cup dry white wine—just check the for some handy tips!
  • 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • A comfy 3 tablespoons of butter
  • About 3 tablespoons of flour
  • Half a cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • A cheerful tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Mix up the sauce ingredients in a large spouted measuring cup and set them aside. Be sure to have all your other ingredients measured out and ready to go before you start!
  • Cut the chicken in half through the middle to make 2-3 thinner pieces. Cover them with plastic wrap, then grab a meatlet and gently pound them until they're about ½ inch thick.
  • Sprinkle both of the chicken with a little salt, pepper, and some fresh parsley.
  • Warm up some olive oil in a large skillet medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches, searing each side for about 4-5 minutes until it develops a lovely golden crust. Once done, set the chicken aside.
  • Switch off the heat first, then pour the wine and turn the heat back to medium. Grab a silicone spatula and give the bottom and sides of the skillet a good scrape; the tasty bits stuck there will make your sauce even more flavorful! Let everything come to a gentle bubble and allow it to reduce for a couple of minutes. Toss in the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
  • Melt the butter and mix in the flour, stirring together. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of that raw flour flavor.
  • Gently pour in the sauce mixture from step 1, a little at a time, while stirring all the while. Let it come to a friendly boil, then lower the heat to let it. Give it about 8 minutes to reduce and thicken.
  • Turn the heat to low and gently sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, making sure to stir it in continuously. Then, go ahead and mix in the lemon juice.
  • Pop the chicken back into the pan and generously spoon the sauce on top Let it heat for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your preferred thickness. Sprinkle some parsley on top and serve it up with some creamy mashed potatoes and your favorite roasted veggies!
