chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: turkey cutlets

Turkey is leaner and thighs are more economical.

Season 2 chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning.

Dredge the chicken in 1/4 cup of flour in a shallow baking dish or pie pan, coating it evenly.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of oil.

Sear the chicken for about 8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and let it melt.

Mince 2 shallots and add them to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Chop 4 garlic cloves and add them to the pan, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in 3/4 cup of dry white wine and let it reduce to about 1/4 cup.

Add 3/4 cup of whipping cream to the sauce and stir.
