2½ tbsp all purpose seasoning divided
2 tbsp smoked paprika divided
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning divided
1 tsp black pepper
3 garlic cloves minced
1 small shallot finely diced
¼ cup white wine of your choice I like Chardonnay
¾ cup heavy cream

Instructions

To your cleaned chicken breasts, season with 1 tbsp all purpose seasoning, ½ tsp of lemon pepper seasoning and 1tbsp of smoked paprika.
2 Chicken breasts, 2½ tbsp all purpose seasoning, 2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
To a separate bowl or plate, season all purpose flour with 1tbsp all purpose seasoning and remaining smoked paprika. Dredge chicken in flour and set aside.
2 cups all purpose flour
To a skillet on medium high heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter. Once the butter is melted, add chicken to the pan and sear until completely cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken once cooked.
2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp unsalted butter
To that same pan, lower heat to medium and add in shallots. Cook until translucent and follow with garlic. Cook for one additional minute, moving the garlic around the pan constantly.
1 small shallot, 3 garlic cloves
Add in white wine and allow liquid to reduce by half. Once reduced, add in lemon juice, stir, and then follow with heavy cream. Whisk to combine all ingredients.
¼ cup white wine of your choice, juice of one lemon, ¾ cup heavy cream
Once sauce is combined, lower heat to medium low and allow to simmer. Sauce will slightly thicken. Once sauce is thickened and can coat the back of a spoon, add in remaining all purpose seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning and black pepper.
1 tsp black pepper
Place chicken back in sauce for 2 minutes and top with parsley. Serve immediately.
1 handful of parsley
