  • Carefully take the chicken out of the skillet and set it aside.
  • Pour in your white wine or chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful bits.
  • Add in the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt. Stir in the fresh garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
