Author's Notes

If your chicken breasts are too large, consider butterflying (splitting down the center) and pounding the breast flat before cooking.

Double up the quantities for sauce and make a delightful creamy pasta dish.

To fix a splitting sauce, add about ¼ cup of water to the pan and reheat the sauce to a vigorous simmer, whisking constantly. The bubbling action will help re-emulsify the butter and bring back that thick, glossy sauce.

Adding butter at the end of the cooking process preserves the flavor of butter in the end product and gives your sauce a glossy finish in the end!
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Coat the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (4) with olive oil. Then, season with Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp), Salt (1 tsp), Italian Seasoning (1 tsp), Onion Powder (1 tsp), and McCormick® Garlic Powder (1 tsp).
step 2
In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and 2 Tbsp of Butter (2 Tbsp) (reserving the other tablespoon for later) until the butter foams.
step 3
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan, turning frequently until browned, about 3 minutes.
step 4
Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
step 5
Return the pan to the stove and turn the heat up to high. Add in Dry White Wine (1/4 cup) and Chicken Stock (1/2 cup), while scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Then add Whipping Cream (1/2 cup), whisking continuously.
step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the pan and spoon the sauce over them, covering them with a lid to simmer. Continue to cook until the chicken breasts are cooked through, with juices running clear, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
step 7
Remove chicken from the pan onto the serving platter.
step 8
Continue reducing the liquid until desired consistency (remembering that the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools). Add in Capers (2 Tbsp) and a knob of Butter (1 Tbsp), whisking until the sauce is glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste
step 9
Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with a Lemon (1), Fresh Parsley (2 sprigs), and Cherry Tomatoes (6).
