- 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning

- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

- Cook the chicken without moving it for 5-7 minutes until it’s golden brown on one side.
- Flip the chicken and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes, or until it is fully cooked through.

- Deglaze the skillet by adding white wine or chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
