Bring comfort to your dinner table with this luscious, Golden Buttered Sage Chicken Skillet, featuring simple yet aromatic ingredients that are perfect to serve on a weeknight. Enjoy moist chicken breasts coated in a tantalizing sage-infused butter sauce with a refreshing touch of white wine.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Spread the flour on a large plate, then press each chicken breast into the flour to coat it lightly, shaking off any excess.
3
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Place the chicken in the hot skillet and saute for about 2-3 minutes per side, until it's cooked through and has a lightly golden color. Remove the chicken from the skillet, place it on a clean plate, cover with foil and set aside.
5
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage leaves and let them cook in the browning butter for 2-3 minutes, until the butter gives off a warm, nutty aroma.
6
Remove the sage with a slotted spoon, leaving the butter in the skillet. Place the sage on a paper towel to drain.
7
Add the lemon juice and white wine to the skillet, stirring and scraping the bottom to incorporate any browned bits.
8
Simmer the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until it is slightly thickened. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
9
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce to warm through. Garnish the chicken with the cooked sage leaves just before serving.
