  • fresh pepper, to season

  • 2 tsp canola oil

  • 2 thinly sliced onions

  • 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves

Instructions

  • SPRINKLE chicken breasts with salt. Season with fresh pepper.

Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 min per side. Add chicken broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 min. Transfer chicken to a platter.
