Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken in the white wine and garlic for a few hours before cooking.

Use fresh garlic for a more robust taste, and consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra depth. This dish is reminiscent of elegant chicken recipes.
Serving Suggestions
