  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and the chicken breasts.
  4. Sauté gently for 5-7 minutes per side, until chicken is lightly golden brown.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc).

  7. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  8. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
