Method

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and oregano.
  2. Lightly coat each breast with flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat a non‑stick pan over medium‑high, add a drizzle of water (instead of oil) and sear the chicken 4‑5 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 75 °C.
  4. Remove chicken, set aside, and deglaze the pan with a splash of milk, scraping up browned bits.
  5. Add minced garlic and peas, simmer 3 minutes, then stir in the remaining milk to create a smooth sauce.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan, coat with sauce, and let everything mingle for another minute.
  7. Slice and plate, spooning extra sauce over the top.

Deglaze with milk rather than wine for a naturally sweet, creamy finish that stays gentle on the palate.
