Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with olive oil.

In a frying pan, add butter and olive oil to brown the chicken.

Once the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan to brown for about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Reduce the heat to medium to avoid burning the butter.

13

After browning, transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and place it in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes to finish cooking.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the pesto cream sauce.

15

Turn on a small burner to high heat to melt butter for the sauce.

16

Once the butter is melted, remove it from heat to prevent burning.

17

Add the diced onion and garlic to the melted butter, then return to medium heat to sweat the onions and garlic.

18

Add white wine to the pan and stir.

In a separate bowl, mix corn starch with cold water to create a slurry.

Add pesto and 35% cream to the sauce mixture.
