Scale
- 4 4 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast
- salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ( or ghee for dairy free)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup diced sweet onion
- 1/3 cup dry white wine

Instructions
- Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat.
- Add avocado oil to the pan and then chicken breast. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove from pan and set aside.
- Then immediately add butter (or ghee) to the pan and let melt. Add in garlic and saute for 30 seconds, stirring the entire time.
- Add in onions and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, scrapping with a wooden spoon to get any brown bits from the bottom. Season with salt and 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
