Ingredients

1 pound chicken breasts boneless & skinless, subs in post above
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning like this, not salad dressing mix
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup white wine or chicken or vegetable broth
¾ cup pesto drained, reserve 2 tablespoons oil
½ cup heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

Heat a large skillet to medium-high.
Pound chicken to a flat even thickness about ½-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning and ground black pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil of the pesto to your skillet. Swirl the oil around to cover the bottom. Sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Add the white wine or chicken broth, pesto, heavy cream, and feta to the pan. Whisk well.
Add the chicken back into the pesto cream sauce and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken.
Top the chicken with shaved parmesan cheese for garnish (optional) and serve.
