Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- salt to taste

Directions
- In a shallow bowl, add the flour.

- Dredge the seasoned chicken pieces in the flour, tapping off the excess.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil.
- Add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, in batches, and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and a golden crust has formed, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Place the cooked chicken pieces on a plate and do not clean the skillet.
- Turn off the heat. Add the wine to the skillet, then increase the heat to medium.
- Use a silicone spatula to loosen the browned pieces from the bottom and sides of the skillet.
- Let the wine mixture gently simmer until it has reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Add the butter and the garlic to the wine mixture and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, the dried parsley, the mustard powder, the dried oregano, the dried basil, and the chicken broth to the wine mixture and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the heavy cream to the sauce mixture, stirring constantly.
- Stir the parmesan cheese into the sauce until it has melted.
- Add the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet and use a spoon to cover them with the sauce.
