Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

• Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and add the chicken rolls. Cook, turning as often as necessary to brown lightly on all sides, about five minutes.
• Remove the chicken rolls to a baking dish.
• Add the onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the wine and cook down until the wine is reduced by half.
