Directions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  5. Pour in chicken broth and dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Nestle chicken breasts into the skillet among the vegetables and liquid.
  7. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  8. Transfer chicken and vegetables to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
  9. Measure remaining liquid in the skillet; add water if necessary to bring total volume to 1 cup.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water until smooth.
