Ingredients

Sauce Base:

1 ¾ cups chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon honey
½ chicken bouillon cube
½ teaspoon each: onion powder, oregano, basil, parsley

Chicken & Cooking Essentials:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons parsley
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ cup dry white wine (see notes)
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Sauce
Combine all sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup. Set aside. Prep and measure out the rest of your ingredients now for easy cooking later!
Prep the Chicken
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thinner pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Season & Sear
Sprinkle each side with salt, pepper, and parsley. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Deglaze with Wine 🍷
Turn off heat. Pour in wine and turn heat to medium. Scrape up brown bits from the pan with a spatula — this adds deep flavor! Simmer for 2 minutes.
Add Garlic & Thicken
Add minced garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes until the wine reduces by half. Stir in butter and flour, whisking constantly to form a roux. Cook 1–2 minutes.
Build the Sauce
Slowly stir in your premixed sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for about 8 minutes to thicken and develop flavor.
Finish It Off
Lower the heat, stir in Parmesan a little at a time, then finish with lemon juice. Add chicken back to the pan and spoon sauce on top. Let everything simmer together for 5 more minutes.
Serve & Enjoy ✨
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies. This dish pairs perfectly with crusty bread or a crisp green salad!

💡 Pro Tips

Wine Substitute: No wine? Sub with chicken broth + a splash of lemon juice or white vinegar.
Make Ahead: Cook sauce and chicken separately, then combine and reheat for up to 3 days later.
Extra Creamy: Add more Parmesan or a splash more cream for a richer texture.
