**White Cooking Wine for Chicken**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup white cooking wine
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 onion, chopped
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour in the white cooking wine, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
5. Add the chicken broth and dried thyme to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the liquid. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 10-12 minutes.
7. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Let the sauce in the skillet simmer for another 5 minutes to further reduce and concentrate the flavors.
8. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
