This recipe has received great feedback since I first shared on our social media channels.
Season your chicken with sea salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place your seasoned chicken breasts into the hot oil and sear each side until nicely browned, about 4 minutes on each side.
Next pour in the stock, cover and reduce the heat to LOW. Allow the chicken to simmer in this sauce until cooked through and no longer pink in the inside, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

➡️ Rachel’s Tips:
If you do not have wine on hand, you may substitute wine for additional chicken bone broth.
The wine adds flavor and is used to deglaze your skillet.
All of the alcohol will cook out of your final meal, so no worries there.
Do not use “cooking wine” as most have a flavor much like rubbing alcohol…LOL.
For best flavor and results, use a decent to nicer bottle of dry white wine that one would drink, because this will produce the very best flavor.
