Ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- all-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 8 garlic cloves, minced

- 1⁄4 cup white wine

- 1⁄4 cup water, to thicken
- 1⁄4 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour and place the flourcoated pieces in the pan; begin browning on one side over medium-high heat.
- Cook on one side for approximately 2 minutes, flip all the pieces over, and add the garlic.
- Continue to sauté until the chicken is cooked through.
- Do not overcook.
- Remove the chicken, place in a covered pan and put in the oven to keep warm.
- De-glaze the pan by adding the chicken broth, wine and lemon juice.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk constantly to make a smooth sauce. Add the butter and cook just long enough to blend. The sauce should be slightly thick. If the sauce is a bit thin, tighten it up with a little cornstarch dissolved in water.
- Place the cooked chicken back in the sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped
- cilantro and serve hot.
