  • 5 mins
  • 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken tenderloins (about 14 oz)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Preparation

Step 1

1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and season with pepper to taste. Lightly dredge in flour.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp of the butter and 1 tsp of the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through; about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

3. Add the remaining 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the wine, chicken broth and lemon juice and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid reduces by half, 2-3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook, spooning the sauce over the chicken, 1 more minute. Top with basil and serve.
