- Step 2: Sear the Chicken- Heat a combination of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.- Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until it turns golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Step 3: Make the Sauce- In the same skillet, sauté the onions until tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the onions and mix thoroughly.- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream to create a smooth sauce. Add Worcestershire sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Step 4: Combine and Finish- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.- Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
