Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Flour (for dredging)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter (divided)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 pinch Herbs de Provence ((or Italian seasoning))
1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
Fresh chopped parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and garlic powder, then dredge them in flour so they're nicely coated.
  • Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes/side until golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside (chicken shouldn't be fully cooked yet).
  • Add the wine and chicken broth to the pan and let it bubble for about a minute. Stir to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the remaining butter and the Herbs de Provence to the pan, and continue simmering for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the cream and chicken back into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.

OLIVE GARDEN CHICKEN WITH LEMON MARJORAM SAUCE



Olive Garden Chicken With Lemon Marjoram Sauce image

I made this for dinner tonight and it tasted fabulous! It was the best Chicken Picatta recipe I have ever had. I made some changes since I first posted the recipe, and suggest you double the sauce if you want to top pasta in addition to the chicken. Personally, I serve it with garlic mashed potatoes. (I save the little garlic containers I get from Papa John's Pizza and mash them into my potatoes -- easy and yummy)
