Ingredients
Scale
Gathering ingredients is like preparing for a little adventure in your own kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk (or heavy cream for a richer sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
If you’re missing something, don’t worry! You can substitute heavy cream with milk or swap fresh garlic with garlic powder. Remember, home cooking is all about flexibility.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps for a dish that’s sure to impress.
- Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
And there you have it—a dish that’s both simple and soulful.
