Savvy Chicken Pleasure Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Difficulty: Moderate

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
   • Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. Deglaze the Pan:
   • Pour in the chicken broth and white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
   • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley (if using), thyme, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
5. Simmer the Sauce:
   • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
   • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the Savvy Chicken Pleasure hot, with the sauce spooned over the top. Pair with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
