- 6 medium chicken breasts - or 3 large, cut in half
- 4 tbsp. flour
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 tsp. Herbs de Provence
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
Either pound 6 medium chicken breasts flat, or slice 3 large chicken breasts in half so that they cook evenly. Pat them dry with a paper towel, and liberally sprinkle each side with Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, add 4 tbsp. flour. Press herbed chicken breasts into the flour until completely covered, shaking off excess.
Add 2 tbsp. butter to a skillet and sauté chicken for 5 minutes on one side until brown.
Flip, and sauté for another 4-5 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 165 F. (73 C.) in the thickest part. Remove, tent with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
To make Herbs de Provence from scratch: Mix ½ tsp. thyme, 1 tsp. rosemary, 1 tsp. savory, 1 tsp. oregano, 1 tsp. marjoram and 1 tsp. chopped, dried lavender flowers.
They will stay fresh when stored and refrigerated in a container with a lid for 3 days.
This recipe is best when served with White Wine Mushroom Sauce.
