Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 Chicken breasts, thinly sliced boneless skinless about 1/2 thick
  • All Purpose Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • ⅓ cup Shallots, finely diced or onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup Chicken broth
  • ½ cup White wine, dry wine or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • ¼ cup Half and half
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
  • 3-4 slices Lemon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with House Seasoning blend.
  • Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken and brown on both sides - about 2-3 minutes per side; remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add shallots; saute for 5 minutes, until translucent.
  • Add garlic and crushed red pepper to skillet and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add chicken broth, wine and lemon juice to the skillet; use a whisk to scrape the browned bits from the bottom.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce reduces to 1/2 cup.
  • Turn off the heat and add the butter and half and half. Whisk until combined.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and place in preheated oven for 8 minutes (or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees)
  • Remove skillet from oven and serve with chopped parsley and lemon slices.

Christina's Notes

  • Brine the chicken for extra moistness and flavor: A simple brine with water, salt, and sugar for 30 minutes to an hour can make a big difference to this easy recipe for juicy chicken.
  • Even Chicken: Pound them gently between two pieces of plastic wrap to a uniform thickness of about ½ inch.
  • Extra Sauce: Make extra sauce for pasta or veggies.
  • Herbs: Stir in some fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or oregano for an extra pop of freshness for this chicken breast recipe.
