Instructions

Directions on making the chicken:

  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
  • Measure the seasoning, and mix it in a small bowl.
  • Rinse and pat dry chicken breasts, and coat each piece with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season chicken breasts liberally on each side.
  • Place the chicken breasts into a large ziplock baggie; do not seal the bag.
  • Using a butcher's mallet, tenderize the chicken by striking the breast from the center towards the edges of the chicken.
  • After tenderizing, the chicken should be about a half-inch thick.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of sweet cream butter and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
  • When the oil and butter mixture is hot, add the chicken breast and pan-sear for 5 minutes. Then, turn the chicken over with a pair of tongs and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken and place it in baking dish and let it rest in a preheated 190-degree oven with a pan of water while you prepare the rest of the food.

Directions on making the cream sauce:

  • Deglaze the skillet with one cup of white wine, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Slowly add the 2 cups of heavy cream and continue stirring.
  • Add the 2 tablespoons of sweet cream butter, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and continue to stir until the mixture just starts to bubble.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat source and scatter in the 4 tablespoons of shredded parmesan and continue to mix.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black peppercorns to taste.
  • The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve.
