Prep the Chicken
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally (then pound to ½ inch thickness. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.)
Sear the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Set aside.
Make the Sauce
- Sauté garlic until fragrant. Add butter and flour to create a roux. Stir in chicken broth (cream, wine, Worcestershire, mustard, honey, herbs, and simmer.)
Add Parmesan
- Lower the heat (add Parmesan cheese, and finish with lemon juice. Stir until smooth.)
Combine & Simmer
- Return chicken to the skillet. Coat with sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Garnish & Serve
- Top with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dish.
Pro Tips for Perfect Sauce
- Add garlic after the wine to avoid burning and bitterness.
- Lower the heat before adding cream and cheese to prevent separation.
- Remove from heat before stirring in Parmesan for smooth (lump-free sauce.)
- Thin the sauce with a splash of broth or cream if it gets too thick.
- Finish with lemon juice to balance the richness and brighten flavors.
