Preparation Steps
  1. To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  2. Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
  4. Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
  5. Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
  6. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; stir continuously.
  7. Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
