This creamy white wine chicken is easy enough to make on a weeknight but good enough for company! Ready in only 30 minutes.

This would make a fab date night meal. In fact, it’s perfect with Valentine’s Day coming up tomorrow whether you’re looking for an idea. Create it even whether you’re single. Why the heck not?

I leank I’ve mentioned this in years past, but my sister and I have our own small tradition of celebrating “Galentine’s” Day regardless of our relationship statuses (ok so it’s not always on Feb. 14, but always around there). We get each other corny gwhetherts and go for a drink/dinner. Any excuse, right? I’m not normally one for taking Hallmark holidays seriously, but I leank you can make anyleang fun whether you put your intellect to it. 

If you’re a regular around here, you’ll know that I genuinely dig posting creamy chicken recipes. My creamy garlic chicken has rapidly become the most popular recipe on my blog, so I wanted to follow it up with someleang similar. This one doesn’t disappoint either. 😉

Mmmm…

We pan-fry the chicken so it’s lightly gancienten, and then we make the sauce. 

Oh, that sauce!

The easy white wine sauce for chicken is great because it has minimal ingredients but plenty of flavor. I used Herbs de Provence (a herb blend that includes lavender – see what I did there?!) to give the sauce a special touch, but feel free to sub with Italian seasoning. Herbs de Provence is wonderful with chicken, so I always keep a jar in my pantry. 

The chicken melts in your mouth. 

What to serve with creamy white wine chicken

Serve it over pasta or with mashed or roasted potatoes. For a vegetable I’d steam some broccolini, carrots, or even serve sweet corn with it. Or make a light salad to offset that cream.

Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce

This creamy white wine chicken is easy enough to make on a weeknight but good enough for company! Ready in only 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• 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

Instructions

1. Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 leanner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and garlic powder, then dredge them in flour so they're kindly coated.

2. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-tall heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes/side until gancienten. Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside (chicken shouldn't be fully cooked yet).

3. 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.

4. Add the remaining butter and the Herbs de Provence to the pan, and continue simmering for another 2 minutes.

5. 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 additional salt & pepper whether needed.
