Ingredients

60g all-purpose flour
4 boneless chicken breast halves, pounded very thin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
120ml white wine
240ml heavy whipping cream
2.5 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
4 tablespoons capers, drained

Directions

Step 1
On a large plate, spread out the flour. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour and season them with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the skillet, cover it with aluminum foil, and keep it warm.
Step 3
Pour the white wine into the same skillet and deglaze by scraping up all the brown bits from the bottom. Stir in the cream, lemon juice, basil, parsley, dill, and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce is reduced and has a creamy consistency, for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the capers into the sauce and heat for 1 to 2 minutes more.
Step 4
Plate the chicken breasts and spoon the sauce on top.
