Today’s recipe is one of my all-time favorite chicken recipes. My mom made it when I still lived at home and I knew it was one of those recipes that I was going to take with me when I left home. It’s an easy recipe – meaning that it isn’t difficult to understand, though it does take a little more time than your typical chicken recipe.
This is a great dish to make when you want to impress your dinner guests. It looks difficult, sounds gourmet, and is bursting with flavor.
The chicken is dredged in a garlic/butter mixture and then breaded. You can either choose to bake the chicken (healthier and easier when cooking for a crowd) or you can sauté it on the stove. Generally, I take the “sauté” route because I’m lazy and can never remember to preheat the oven. Lame.
I made this meal twice during our gluten-free eating bout. Both times, I subbed cornstarch and gluten-free all purpose flour for the flour and breadcrumbs called for in the regular recipe (see below).
Three delicious components of the sauce: wine, mustard, and cream/milk.
If you haven’t noticed yet, we eat rice with pretty much anything.
Must be my Middle Eastern roots kicking in…
If you love chicken recipes as much as I do, check out these delicious recipes:
16 oz chicken breasts, butterflied (or thinly pounded) and seasoned with salt and pepper
Dip chicken in butter/garlic mixture quickly and pat with flour mixture. Lay on greased baking sheet (if choosing the bake method) OR in well-oiled skillet (skillet should have about 1 T butter/oil). Repeat with remaining chicken.
For baking – Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
For stovetop – Saute on med-high heat until chicken cooks (about 8-10 minutes), adding more butter if necessary.

If you’ve been following the blog for a while now, I’m sure you’ve run into my obsession with breakfast foods. You’ve already seen recipes for glazed cinnamon-pecan coffee cake, loaded granola, and some recipes for gluten free breakfasts like gluten free pancakes and quiche. On our Europe trip, I tried at least three different quiches (all amazing) and ran across a…
I don’t wear yellow very often. I find that it completely washes me out but I made an exception when I noticed yellow popping up everywhere this season and when I ran into this little yellow dress at Zara. I immediately grabbed it and added it to my embarrassingly large stack of clothes headed for the fitting room. Surprisingly,…
I love pasta. In any form really. And I even made pasta – like the actual noodle – once. Someday I will be ambitious enough to do so once again and this time, I’ll share it on the blog. So what goes perfectly with pasta? Wine. And lots of it. Scratch that – wine really…
I love being inspired by sandwich shops and restaurants. It’s always a fun mental game to play when we go out. I order something, try it and if I like it, try to figure out how I can replicate it at home. Sometimes it’s next to impossible (re: Panera’s Fuji Chicken Salad) and other times…
If I could name one staple from our refrigerator, I would say it’s yogurt. We love yogurt and we use it in foods and recipes all the time. In fact, we end up skipping breakfast a lot if we don’t have it on hand. Today I’ve decided to share 4 delicious ways to use yogurt…
This coat has been a part of my closet for the last few years and I still love it today as much as I did then. The detailing on it is beautiful, with varying textures, asymmetry and color combination. I’ve paired it with my high waist AG jeans (which I love) and my classic flat…
