heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

white wine

🥗Healthier: white grape juice

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar + water

White grape juice provides sweetness without alcohol.

chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: whole chicken

Thighs are often more affordable and juicier.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a similar cooking medium.

1

Crack black peppercorns coarsely using a mortar and pestle or a rolling pin.

2

Season chicken breasts with salt and the cracked peppercorns on both sides.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4

Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

5

Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

6

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

7

Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, sautéing until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

8

Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

9

Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.

10

Reduce heat to low and add heavy cream, stirring until well combined and heated through.

11

Return chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy sauce, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

12

Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
