How to make Chicken In Cream and Herb Sauce

Provided by @MakeItYours

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 - chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
1 - lemon, sliced
2 tablespoon(s) parsley
2 tablespoon(s) parsley, minced
- "just a pinch" of pepper
- "just a pinch" of salt
2 tablespoon(s) dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
1/2 cup(s) whipping cream
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
1/2 cup(s) white wine, dry
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
3 tablespoon(s) butter
- all purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
1 tablespoon(s) capers, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap, and with heavy wooden mallet, pound evenly and gently until about 1/4\" thick then dredge with seasoned flour.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons each butter and oil.
  • Add as many pieces of chicken as will fit without crowding.
  • Cook quickly, just until meat loses pinkness when slashed, about 1 1/2 minutes per side.
  • Place on hot platter; keep warm.
  • Cook remaining pieces, adding more butter and oil as needed.
  • Add to platter and keep warm.
  • Chicken may be placed in 200 degree oven while sauce is prepared.
  • Add wine and lemon juice to skillet and simmer over moderately high heat, stirring to blend in browned particles.
  • Boil, reducing to about half.
  • Add whipping cream, thyme and parsley; boil until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Pour any meat juices from warming platter into sauce.
  • Adjust sauce for seasoning to taste.
  • Pour over meat and garnish with parsley, lemon slices and capers.
  • NOTE: Chicken breasts or veal may be substituted.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you can, use fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine in this sauce adds a lot of flavor. Use a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own. A dry white wine, such as a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, works well.
  • Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce for 15-20 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Don't rush this step.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will lose its flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This chicken in cream and herb sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a creamy sauce that is flavored with fresh herbs, white wine, and mushrooms. The dish is served over rice or pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
