Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

  2. Add minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Let the sauce reduce for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
  2. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  3. Serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
