Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the flour in a shallow dish and set aside.
  2. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge the chicken in the flour a few strips at a time, coating all sides evenly.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the chicken to the skillet, turning to brown on all sides.
  6. Cook for about 10 minutes, adding more oil as needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Pour off any excess oil from the skillet.
  8. Add the chicken broth and hot water to the skillet.
  9. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  10. Stir in the white wine and marjoram (or thyme).
  11. Cover and cook for 5 minutes more, or until the chicken is fork-tender and no longer pink.
  12. Serve the chicken over biscuits or rice, spooning the pan sauce over the top.
