Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken cutlets (or boneless skinless chicken breasts cut horizontally* )
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon salted butter
- 8 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (or evaporated milk mixed with 1 teaspoon cornstarch)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Steps
-
Season the chicken with oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (in batches if needed) and cook for 3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer it to a plate and lightly cover to keep warm.
-
To make the sauce, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and garlic to the pan. Cook until fragrant and starting to soften, about 1 minute.
-
Stir in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Whisk in the heavy cream, broth, and basil. Simmer uncovered for 8-12 minutes or until slightly thickened.
-
Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any juices, and cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese if desired.
