A comforting and rich creamy chicken lazone dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a buttery garlic cream sauce with parmesan and a hint of lemon, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds / 680 grams), pounded to even thickness
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 small shallots, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) dry white wine (optional, Sauvignon Blanc recommended)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, chicken broth (for lighter sauce)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to about ½ inch (1.25 cm) thickness. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm tented with foil.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the same pan. Once melted, add minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent, avoiding browning the garlic.
  4. Pour in dry white wine, scraping the pan to lift browned bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to loosen.
  6. Add lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over. Warm together for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy. Avoid browning garlic to prevent bitterness. Reduce wine slowly for best flavor. If sauce thickens too much, loosen with chicken broth or water. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and nutritional yeast. Use chicken thighs for juicier meat. Reheat gently on stovetop with added cream or broth to prevent sauce separation.
