Creamy Chicken with a Hint of Lemon - Recipe image

INGREDIENTS

4 medium chicken breast fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons Flora Cook & Bake Salted (butter substitute)
1 small dry onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2/3 cup (180ml) dry white wine
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
½ cup (125ml) fresh milk
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2-3 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves only
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon black pepper

METHOD

Season the fillets well with salt and pepper. Place a large frying pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and then the Flora Plant Butter Salted to give aroma and flavor to the dish. When the Flora Plant Butter Salted has melted, place the chicken pieces skin-side down in the pan. Sauté the chicken over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Turn them over and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until they get a golden color. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep it warm.
Add the onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for a few seconds. Pour in the wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Add the heavy cream, milk, lemon zest, and fresh oregano leaves, and stir. Bring to a boil and add the lemon juice, mustard, and the remaining salt.
Stir, and once the sauce boils, return the chicken to the pan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Serve the chicken while hot with mashed potatoes. Drizzle with its lemon sauce and garnish with fresh oregano leaves.
