Ingredients For Garlic Parmesan Chicken

- 1 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Teaspoon Mustard Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Honey
- 1/2 Chicken Bouillon Cube
- 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
- 1/2 Teaspoon Basil
- 1/2 Teaspoon Parsley
- 2 Large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- 2 Teaspoons Parsley (for garnish)
- 1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

- 4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Flour
- 1/2 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Instructions For The Perfect Garlic Parmesan Chicken.
First things first, combine the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup (chicken broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, honey, and the chicken bouillon). Give it a little stir and set aside. Next, prepare all your ingredients, so they’re ready to go.
Now, slice those chicken breasts in half lengthwise (that’s right, make them nice and thin) and pound them to about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking! Season your chicken on both sides with a couple pinches of salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of parsley.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. They should be just about cooked through. Set chicken aside on a plate.
Here comes the fun part, add the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet! Scrape the yummy bits off the bottom for maximum flavor. Let it bubble gently for about 2 minutes before adding minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the wine reduces by half.
Next up, toss in the butter and flour, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get that floury taste out of there.
Gradually pour the sauce mixture into the skillet while stirring continuously. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 8 minutes. The smell will be heavenly, and you might want to start dancing around the kitchen.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the fresh Parmesan cheese and lemon juice gradually. Stir until that cheese melts beautifully into the sauce.
Now it’s time to return the chicken to the pan. Spoon that creamy sauce right over the top of the chicken and heat through for about 5 minutes. You want that chicken soaked in flavor! Garnish with extra parsley if you’re feeling fancy!
