Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

03

Step

Carefully arrange the chicken in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Pan-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C). (10-14 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.

05

Step

Return the skillet to the stove and reduce the heat to medium.

06

Step

Add the minced garlic and sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Pour in the white wine and use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, deglazing the pan. Allow the wine to reduce slightly, about 2 minutes. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Stir in the chicken stock and continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by about half, approximately 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

09

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and flour until smooth. Gradually pour the cream mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

10

Step

Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes. (3-5 minutes)

11

Step

Spoon the creamy white wine sauce generously over the chicken breasts and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley or thyme to the sauce during the last minute of cooking.
If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a splash of chicken stock.
Serve with a side of pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.
