This creamy Alfredo-type chicken dish has become a favorite of my family. My daughter requests it constantly served over bow tie pasta. You can also serve it with rice.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
5 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
½ cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
½ cup half-and-half
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons water

Directions

Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture until coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Pour wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add chicken stock and cook until sauce has reduced, about 10 minutes. Add half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice; let reduce for 10 more minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in water and add to the pan. Add chicken and allow to heat through, about 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Cook's Note:

Use rice flour in place of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version. Using wine is optional.
