Method
 

How to Make Chicken in White Wine Sauce
  1. Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner slices. Place them in a gallon freezer bag or between plastic wrap, and pound to ½ inch thick. Pat the pieces dry.
  2. Season and dredge: Generously season each side of the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside, leaving brown bits in the skillet.
  4. Deglaze the pan: Pour the white wine into the skillet, then return to medium heat. Scrape up the brown remnants for enhanced flavor.
  5. Simmer the sauce: Let the wine bubble gently until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add butter and garlic, cooking for 1 more minute. Pour in Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and seasonings; bring to a boil.
  6. Thicken the sauce: Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the bubbling sauce until it thickens.
  7. Add cream and cheese: Lower the heat and gradually stir in heavy cream, then mix in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  8. Combine and simmer: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover partially and let simmer for about 5 minutes before removing from heat.
  9. Finish and serve: Stir in fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick. Garnish with parsley and serve alongside mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.
