Notes
- Slice chicken breasts in half or use a mallet and pound them thin. Ensure chicken if fully cooked by checking to ensure that it's reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- If you're going to skip the roasting of the garlic, then mince at least 6 garlic cloves and then add to hot pan after you've removed the chicken and sauté for about 30-60 seconds, before adding the stock and wine.
