Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add more butter if needed, reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Pour in ½ cup of Irish whiskey, scraping the bottom to loosen browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol and reduce the liquid.
  4. Slowly stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or buttered noodles.
