Skillet Chicken in White Wine Sauce – Quick and easy skillet seared chicken topped with a creamy garlic and onions white wine sauce that’s sure to please any crowd!
This super easy, one pan skillet chicken bathed in an incredible white wine sauce is a must-try, must-have-NOW meal! It truly is a restaurant-quality dinner that’s so quick to make and in just one skillet.
Friends, guess what I’m serving up for Easter? YEPPERS: the menu includes my Balsamic Braised Lamb Shanks for the lamb-lovahs, and this Skillet Chicken in White Wine Sauce for the lamb-haters.
This simple to prepare recipe has a very dang amazing tasty sauce, and the chicken is wonderfully tender. I like to serve it over rice, especially my really good Lemon Rice, with a side of a big green salad.
About that white wine sauce, tho…
Before making the amazing sauce, you’ll first want to pan sear some chicken breasts.
HOW TO MAKE SKILLET SEARED CHICKEN BREASTS?
- Pour enough olive oil into a skillet to generously coat the bottom.
- Heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in the pan and do not move the chicken around; let it cook for about 6 minutes.
- Using a pair of tongs, flip the chicken and cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Remove chicken to a plate and cover.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A CREAMY WHITE WINE SAUCE?
(Scroll down to the recipe box to get the RECIPE in its entirety)
- We will need butter, onions, garlic, wine, cream, herbs and seasonings.
- In the same skillet that you used to prepare the chicken, you will fry the onion and garlic in melted butter.
- Add the wine and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the wine has reduced.
- Add the cream and herbs.
- Reduce heat to slowly bring to a boil; place chicken breasts back in the skillet and leave to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Serve!
If you can’t/don’t want to use wine, please reach for some apple juice.
Full transparency: This recipe was actually my attempt at trying to stay true to a classic romantic dinner recipe, all while making it into an easy weeknight meal for everyone. I think I succeeded and am looking forward to serving it on Easter.
