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?

  1. Pour enough olive oil into a skillet to generously coat the bottom.
  2. Heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and do not move the chicken around; let it cook for about 6 minutes.
  5. Using a pair of tongs, flip the chicken and cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until cooked through.
  6. 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.
  1. In the same skillet that you used to prepare the chicken, you will fry the onion and garlic in melted butter.
  2. Add the wine and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the wine has reduced.
  3. Add the cream and herbs.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
