Ingredients
Before diving into the preparation process, gather the following ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 bay leaf
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons cold water
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your chicken cooks evenly while you prepare the rest of the dish.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using), then add the dried thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
5. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the skillet, and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet, making sure it is fully submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
7. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making the chicken even more tender.
8. To serve, garnish the chicken with fresh parsley and spoon the rich sauce over the top. Serve with a side of your choice, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, and enjoy your homemade Chicken Supreme.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to prepare a mouthwatering Chicken Supreme that is sure to delight your taste buds and impress your guests. Happy cooking!
