  2. Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pound to ½ inch thickness.
  3. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  4. Sear chicken in olive oil until golden on both sides, then set aside.
  5. Deglaze pan with white wine and reduce for 2 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and cook until reduced by half.
  7. Stir in butter and flour to form a roux.

Notes

  • Use Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc for wine.
  • A 12-inch skillet helps the sauce reduce properly.
  • Chicken broth can replace wine if needed.
