Creamy Herb Chicken

Instructions

Dredge/Sear the Chicken

1. Cut the chicken into 2-3 slices. The chicken will thicken more as it cooks, pounding with a meat mallet as needed. Aim for 1/2-inch thick slices. Allow drying completely.
2. Lightly sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings. Dust with flour and shake off excess flour.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 pieces of chicken, leaving space around each. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Take it out and set it aside. Repeat with the remaining 3 pieces of chicken.
4. Pro tip: During cooking, fine-tune the heat (up or down) as needed. Add more olive oil during cooking if needed. Do not disturb while cooking to keep the chicken crispy.

make the sauce

1. Turn off the heat and discard excess oil and black residue, but leave brown bits in the pan. (This is called "dashi", and it makes the flavor of the sauce stronger.)
2. Add chicken broth and spices:
3. (1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp mustard powder, 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp oregano)
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in cream of chicken broth, followed by sour cream, milk, and 2 tsp. lemon juice. Mix with a whisk until smooth.

Add chicken breast and serve

1. Add the chicken tenders and spoon the sauce over. Heat for about 5 minutes. Serve with fresh parsley if you like!
