Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound chicken cutlets
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
1 large yellow onion (1 pound), halved and thinly sliced
⅓ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook the chicken, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add onion and wine; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, golden and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the onion and stir to coat. Add broth, cream, thyme and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook until bubbling and thickened, about 2 minutes more. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and turn to coat. Cover and cook until the chicken is heated through, about 1 minute more. Serve sprinkled with parsley, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
