This baked white wine chicken breasts recipe uses a simple, hands-off technique and no frying at all. The chicken cooks gently in a rich garlic cream sauce infused with Italian herbs, giving you an elegant yet easy weeknight dinner ready in about 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (buy 4 chicken breasts roughly 8 oz each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • Sauce ingredients:
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream (see note)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3/4 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
  2. Place the chicken breasts beside each other in a 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle them with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and some salt & pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together.
  4. Pour the sauce around the chicken.
  5. Bake, uncovered, for 30–35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked (165F). Keep in mind ovens vary as does the thickness of chicken breasts, so test early!
  6. Take it out of the oven. Give the sauce a stir and spoon it over the chicken. Sprinkle the parmesan and parsley on top. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes prior to serving or cutting. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed.

Notes

  • Chicken breasts vary in size, so you may need to adjust cooking time. An instant-read thermometer is great for this recipe!
  • Do not substitute lower-fat cream — it will likely curdle. Use at least 33% fat whipping or heavy cream.
