4 servings
For the chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
Chef's tipChoose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes. - ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ¾ cup chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp dairy free butter
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- lemon slices, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
