3.    Remove the chicken from the pan; place on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.

4.    Melt the butter in the pan. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the flour and whisk until combined with the butter.

Recipe Notes

1.    I buy thin cut chicken breasts for this recipe. If your chicken breasts are thick, either increase the cook time or use a knife to cut them in half lengthwise.
