1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add onions and garlic; sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until tender.
Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up brown bits; simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in chicken broth, thyme, and rosemary. Return chicken to the skillet; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
Remove chicken again, whisk in butter until melted to create a velvety sauce, then return the chicken to coat before serving.
