Ingredients

2 chicken breasts butterflied apart to create 4 thin-sliced chicken breasts
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 shallot minced
½ cup bourbon
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tbsp minced parsley for garnish

Instructions

Butterfly 2 chicken breasts, pound them on both sides with a meat mallet.
Mix together: garlic powder, kosher salt, oregano, and pepper. Season the chicken with the mixture.
Drizzle olive oil into a large pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts on each side (3-4 minutes on each side).
Remove the chicken from the pan, tent with foil. Turn the heat down to low, then add the butter and minced shallot to the pan. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
Add the bourbon. Allow it to reduce by half and scrape up any brown bits.
Whisk in the maple syrup, dijon mustard, lemon juice and heavy cream. Return the chicken to the pan.
Garnish with minced parsley and serve!

Notes

Be sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken - it should be 165 degrees F before serving!

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave on high for 3 minutes (or until warmed through).
