Equipment
- Large frying pan or skillet
- Sharp knife and cutting board
- Tongs or spatula for flipping
- Measuring spoons
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup white wine dry
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional, but adds a nice touch
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- First, take the chicken breasts and lightly season both sides with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. This step ensures the chicken gets a flavorful base.
Heat the Pan
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the chicken breasts to the pan.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes on each side, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Make the Sauce
- After the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 15 minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and white wine, stirring to combine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let this simmer for about 25-30 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the Finishing Touches
- Add the lemon juice to the pan and stir it in. At this point, you can return the chicken breasts to the pan, spooning some of the sauce over them.
- Allow the chicken to simmer for another 45 minutes, so it soaks up some of the flavors from the sauce.
Garnish and Serve
- Once the chicken is fully coated in the sauce and tender, remove it from the heat. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch and, if desired, a little grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides—whether it’s a light salad, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
1. If you prefer a more seafood-inspired twist (since this recipe is inspired by Bonefish Grill), you can add shrimp or scallops to the dish!
2. Simply sauté the seafood in the same pan after cooking the chicken, and add them to the sauce in the final steps. This small change can elevate the flavor profile, making the dish even more exciting!
