Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise into 4 cutlets)
- Flour (for dredging, about 1/2 cup)
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary (needles removed)
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan and Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet until melted and hot. Meanwhile, cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise so you have four thinner cutlets. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
- Fry the Chicken: Place the floured chicken cutlets in the hot skillet and fry them for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- Cook the Rosemary: Remove the needles from the rosemary stems and add the fresh rosemary needles to the same pan. Sauté the rosemary needles for about a minute to release their aroma, stirring frequently.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in 1/2 cup white wine, add the minced garlic and 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir the mixture continuously until it forms a smooth sauce.
- Add Cream and Simmer: Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and return the chicken cutlets to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook everything together for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- Season and Serve: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Serve the creamy rosemary chicken hot, spooning sauce over the chicken.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in a little olive oil, garlic, and rosemary before cooking.
- Use gluten-free flour to adapt the recipe if needed.
- If white wine is unavailable, chicken broth with a splash of lemon juice can be a substitute.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
