Creamy White Wine Chicken is creamy and hearty comfort food! Seared chicken breasts are smothered in a creamy sauce.
I like to serve this chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta. For a side, I like a bright fresh green salad or vegetable to compliment the creamy sauce.
CREAMY WHITE WINE CHICKEN
Even though this recipe doesn’t have many ingredients, it does have plenty of flavors. Herbs De Provence makes this dish in my opinion. If you’re unfamiliar with Herbs De Provence it’s a spice blend that often contains marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. However, that combination varies between brands. You can also use Italian seasoning whichever you prefer or have on hand.
This is an easy recipe to double or even triple.

You can also add mushrooms and onions to this chicken. Add them after the chicken and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THE CHICKEN IS DONE?
Chicken is safe to eat when it has an internal temperature of 165°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to test for doneness. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can cut into the thickest part of the chicken. It’s done if the juices run clear.
HOW DO I REHEAT?
I recommend reheating this on the stovetop on low. Low heat will help prevent the sauce from separating. I actually think the sauce has more flavor after it’s reheated.

Save To Your Recipe BoxIngredients
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Herbs De Provence or Italian seasoning
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Split chicken breast and pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness.
- Rub salt, pepper, and Herbs De Provence on the chicken.
- Cook 4 to 5 minutes on the first side. Do not disturb. When chicken is brown and releases from the pan easily, turn it to the second side. Cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. It usually doesn't take as long on the second side.
- When all breasts are cooked, take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
- Add the wine and chicken broth to the pan and let it bubble for about a minute. Stir to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken back into the pan and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
