Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts cut horizontally to make 4 fillets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon EACH: onion powder oregano, basil, parsley
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, to garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make thinner slices.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and flatten to ½ inch thick using the textured side of a meat mallet.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Season both sides of each chicken piece with salt and  pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the chicken in batches, 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover it with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Make sure to turn off the heat while doing this step.

Make the Sauce:

  • Turn the heat to medium-high and melt the butter in the same skillet.  Once it is melted, add the flour and garlic. Cook for about a minute, stirring frequently.
  • In a measuring cup, mix together the chicken broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, honey, onion powder, oregano, basil, and parsley.
  • Gradually add the sauce mixture, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let it reduce for about 4-5 minutes.

Finish the Dish:

  • Lower the heat and slowly add Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously.
  • Stir in the lemon juice.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Cook for 3-5 more minutes or until the sauce thickens to your liking.

Serve:

  • Garnish with parsley and serve the chicken with mashed potatoes and your choice of roasted vegetables.
