Easy herbed chicken in creamy sauce, slow cooked on the stove, has an amazing flavor! The pan liquid is also excellent over pasta or mashed potatoes.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
½ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
½ cup milk
¼ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Sprinkle both sides of the flattened chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet with a cover over medium heat. Pan-fry the chicken breasts for about 2 minutes on each side, until the chicken is golden brown but not cooked all the way through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Place the onion and garlic in the skillet, and cook and stir for about 3 minutes, until the onion starts to turn translucent. Pour the white wine and chicken broth into the pan, and bring to a simmer while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the rosemary and thyme leaves, lemon juice, lemon zest, milk, and sour cream until the sauce is well mixed.
  • Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet; cover with the sauce, Cover the skillet, and simmer for about 1 hour, until the sauce is thickened. Serve chicken with sauce spooned over the top.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the herb-lemon sauce was incredibly flavorful. I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a meal to remember. Highly recommend!

Not bad, but not great either. The chicken was a bit bland and the sauce was too runny for my taste. I think I'll stick to my old chicken recipe.

This dish was a bit of a disappointment. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce lacked flavor. I think I may have made a mistake in the cooking process, so I might give it another try in the future.

I gave this recipe a try last night and was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was tender and moist, and the herb-lemon sauce was tangy and flavorful. I served it with roasted vegetables, and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely make it again!
