Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or thyme)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a restaurant-quality dish:

• Step 1: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry and generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts.
• Step 3: Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
• Step 4: In the same skillet, pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any delicious brown bits left from cooking the chicken.
• Step 5: Reduce the wine by half, then stir in the butter until melted and combined.
• Step 6: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it to soak up all the flavor.
• Step 7: Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

This dish serves beautifully with a side of steamed veggies or a light salad. The creamy butter sauce can also be drizzled over roasted potatoes for a comforting touch.
