Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 2 Tbsp cold butter, diced
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Place one chicken breast into a gallon-sized zip-top storage bag. Pound with the smooth side of a meat tenderizer until about ½-1 inch thick. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to a skillet heated over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken. Saute for 4-5 minutes per side or until juices run clear. Set aside.
  3. Add wine to pan. Reduce for 1 minute while scraping the brown bits off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add chicken stock and reduce for another 3-4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and add butter, stirring slowly until the butter is fully incorporated.
  5. Place chicken onto a plate and drizzle with the pan sauce.
  6. Toss greens with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil. Split evenly onto the plated chicken dishes. Enjoy!
