Dredge each chicken piece in the seasoned flour until lightly coated on both sides.

04

Place the olive oil and butter in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

05

Add the floured chicken, chopped rosemary, and unpeeled garlic cloves to the hot skillet.

06

Cook the chicken uncovered for 4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown.

08

Pour in the white wine and bring the liquid to a boil.

Look for: Liquid is bubbling vigorously
09

Chef's Notes

  • Leaving the garlic unpeeled prevents it from burning during the high-heat searing phase while still infusing the oil with flavor.
  • For a thicker sauce, whisk a teaspoon of the seasoned flour into the wine before adding it to the pan.

Storage

Refrigerator: 96 hoursStore in an airtight container.

Freezer: 3 monthsFreeze in sauce to maintain moisture.
