My family now enjoys this creamy chicken meal in the style of Alfredo. It’s usually served with bow tie spaghetti, per my daughter’s repeated demands. The dish can also be served with rice.

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

Reviews
I made it exactly as written. However I tripled the sauce just in case and as it turns it out was incredible. My picky guys loved it. It does taste lemony but everyone loved it.
Tasty sauce, but I had an issue with the sauce curdling when I added the lemon juice. Be sure to lower the heat and whisk the lemon juice in gradually.
