Steps:
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a large heavy flameproof casserole heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown chicken in 2 batches, transferring with tongs as browned to a large plate.
- Add wine to casserole and boil, scraping up browned bits, until almost evaporated.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH LEMON ORZO
Steps:
- Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Remove the tenders on the underside of the chicken breasts and save for another use. (This makes the chicken breasts an even thickness so they cook evenly.) Heat the canola oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter together in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to sizzle.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Place the chicken, skin side down, in the skillet and cook over medium heat without moving for 12 minutes. With the chicken still skin side down, place the skillet in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
- Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat (careful; the handle will be hot!). Turn the chicken skin side up, add the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter, and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is a nutty brown color and the chicken breasts are just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer will register 130 to 140 degrees F). Off the heat, sprinkle on the parsley.
- Divide the Lemon Orzo with Feta among four dinner plates. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice each breast crosswise in thick slices. Arrange one breast on each plate with the orzo. Spoon a few tablespoons of the brown butter over each chicken breast, squeeze on some lemon, and sprinkle with salt. Serve hot with a fresh wedge of lemon on each plate.
- In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the orzo. Return the water to a boil and simmer uncovered for 9 to 11 minutes, until the orzo is al dente. Drain.
- Transfer the orzo to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the feta and serve hot.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish. Use fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meats and poultry.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor and fragrance to dishes. If you can, use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Provençal cuisine. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dishes generously. Provençal cuisine is known for its bold flavors, so don't hold back on the salt, pepper, and herbs.
