Instructions:

Garlic chicken and mushroom skillet with white wine sauce FAQ:
Cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side in the skillet, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The total cooking time should be around 8-10 minutes.
The chicken should be golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure it is fully cooked. You can also cut into a piece to check that it's no longer pink in the center.
Yes, you can substitute the white wine with chicken broth or vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic version. If you prefer wine, a dry white like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works well.

Cooking Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness to promote even cooking.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel before seasoning to help the flour adhere better.

- Pick a quality white wine that you would enjoy drinking; it will enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- Chop the fresh parsley just before serving to retain its vibrant color and fresh flavor.
