Number Of Ingredients 7

Chicken breasts
Onions
Butter
White wine
Bay leaves
Thyme
Parsley

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 2 chopped onions with 2 tablespoons butter and some salt and pepper until the onions soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, 1 cup white wine, 2 bay leaves and several sprigs of thyme and parsley. When the liquid boils, lower heat to a simmer; cover and cook chicken for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender and just cooked through.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Turn heat to high and boil the mixture until it is reduced by three-quarters; it should be fairly thick.
  • Lower heat, stir in 2 tablespoons butter and return the chicken to the pan to reheat and coat with sauce.
  • Adjust seasoning. Garnish: Chopped fresh thyme.
