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.

CHICKEN MEDALLIONS IN WHITE WINE REDUCTION
This was originally a recipe for Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Reduction that I converted for my daughter who didn't like beef at the time. I serve it with Rissoto and Grilled Asparagus and Carrots. It is a nice easy dinner for 2 on a work night when you don't have a lot of time or energy, but can be multiplied for dinner parties when you want the compliments also without expending a lot of time or energy.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 2 chopped onions with 2 tablespoons butter and some salt and pepper until the onions soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken, 1 cup white wine, 2 bay leaves and several sprigs of thyme and parsley. When the liquid boils, lower heat to a simmer; cover and cook chicken for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender and just cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Turn heat to high and boil the mixture until it is reduced by three-quarters; it should be fairly thick.
- Lower heat, stir in 2 tablespoons butter and return the chicken to the pan to reheat and coat with sauce.
- Adjust seasoning. Garnish: Chopped fresh thyme.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use a good quality white wine: The wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A dry white wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio is a good option.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very lean, so they can easily become dry and tough if they're overcooked. Cook them over medium heat until they're just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Reduce the wine slowly: When you're reducing the wine, let it simmer over low heat until it has thickened and become syrupy. This will concentrate the flavors and give the sauce a rich, complex flavor.
- Season to taste: Once the sauce is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add some salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Serve immediately: Chicken medallions in white wine reduction is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and the sauce is still warm.
Conclusion:
Chicken medallions in white wine reduction is a classic French dish that is both elegant and easy to make. It's perfect for a special occasion dinner or a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, rich white wine sauce, and flavorful vegetables is sure to please everyone at the table.
