This turned out surprisingly well for being such a simple dish. Next time, I may throw in a clove of garlic just for extra flavor.
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
1/2 t dried basil
1/2 t lemon pepper seasoning
1 T olive oil
1 T butter
1 cup dry Chardonnay or other white wine
diced tomato for garnish
fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced, for garnish
Pound chicken breasts lightly in a ziploc bag or between two sheets of plastic wrap til about 1/2" thick.
In a large flat container with a tight fitting cover combine flour and seasonings. Add chicken; cover and shake lightly til chicken is well covered. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken breast for a couple minutes on first side til golden brown. Turn and cook other side til golden brown. Add wine.
Cover and simmer about 10-15 minutes or til wine reduces and chicken is cooked through.
I served the chicken and pan sauce over thin spaghetti garnished with tomato and basil alongside some steamed corn. This was simple and delicious!

the recipe looks good!
OMFG, I can't believe I did that.
Thanks, Deb!
don'tcha hate when that happens?
This is really very nice to look at, nevermind how wonderful it sounds. I featured this before I even read the recipe as I knew what was coming.
Featured in Family Friendly Foods & Recipes.
I wasn't sure whether to even post there, Katie. Just never sure about family friendly dishes that contain alcohol :)
Most of the alcohol burns off, so it's not a biggie. And it's not like you're going to feed this to an infant, so sure, why not.
Whoa, extra gravy for me and we're talkin.
We can do that. I'll add extra wine for ya.
sounds godd and easy to make
Looks great!
Simple , yet very tasty looking dish .I like serving it with spaghetti ,nice touch . : ) ,: ) , : ) , 3 smileys.
Ya know, this actually looks so good, I'd eat ever bit of it and wouldn't complain about a single thing...except maybe I didn't get anough and want more.
This looks so pretty, Shan ... great combination: looks good and tastes good!
How would this sauce work with other meats?
Pork, yes. Beef, no. Try a red wine with beef.
Lookin' good!
must you with the tomato?
looks good thanks for sharing..
Looks good and definitely simple. I love the tomato on top. If you posted this to Eating While Broke (you better have!) I'll feature it there. It fits the bill.
Yum!
It's not there!
looks good
looks wonderful
that looks fabulous!!
Oh yummy! This looks like something everyone in my family would like -- minus the tomatoes.
Excellent presentation and I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks.
It looks good. Makes my mouth water. So this is how you get chicken the thickness you want? Beat it half to death? I've tried slicing chicken breasts thinner and squashing them and all sorts of things. Didn't think of beating it.
Just put the boneless skinless breast in a ziploc or between a couple sheets of plastic wrap and firmly pound them with a rolling pin or mallet. You don't have to beat them, per se.
Shannon, this just trips me out. Never would I have thought to whoop up on a chicken before to get it to be the shape or size I wanted. Will do. Will let you know how this turns out.
I still like it ! Delish.
looks adn sounds delicious!
Lovely. im gonna try it this week!
