Instructions:

Preparation:
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden brown. Remove garlic and set aside.
- Meanwhile, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Dredge them in flour mixed with white wine Worcestershire sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Cooking the Chicken:
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and heat over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate.
-
Preparing the Sauce:
- To the drippings in the skillet, add 6 tablespoons of white wine Worcestershire sauce and sauté the mushrooms until they are tender.
-
Creating the Cream Sauce:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add evaporated milk to the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Sprinkle in Wondra Flour and stir continuously to avoid lumps.
-
Flavor Infusion:
- Add dried rosemary and lemon juice to the sauce, stirring well to incorporate. Let it simmer for about 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Final Touch:
- If the sauce is too thick, add water gradually until you achieve the desired consistency. Stir in 2 capfuls of Frangelico liqueur and cook for an additional minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off while the flavors intensify.
-
Serving:
- Pour the creamy Frangelico sauce over the cooked chicken breasts. Serve hot, ideally accompanied by rice or your favorite side dish.
