Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

  4. In the same skillet, sauté smashed garlic until fragrant. Deglaze with grape juice or apple cider vinegar.
  5. Add chicken broth and simmer for 5–7 minutes to thicken slightly.
