Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
- If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, the wine adds a delicious flavor to the sauce, so it's worth using if you have it.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and cook until it thickens.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

This chicken breast with basil wine sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please the whole family. The tender chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with white wine, basil, and garlic. Serve it with your favorite sides for a delicious and satisfying meal.
