Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by chopping onions and mincing garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes each). Remove from the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Deglaze with white wine, scraping up brown bits from the pan.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet along with chicken broth and herbs. Bring to a simmer, cover tightly, and braise for 30 minutes.
  5. Uncover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
