For chicken breasts, slice them horizontally to create four thinner pieces to ensure even cooking. Always use Morton kosher salt for best results; adjust the quantity if substituting with table salt. Should you prefer not to cook with wine, an equal measure of chicken broth can be used instead. Avoid wiping out the pan after searing as the fond enriches the sauce with robust flavor. If the sauce thickens excessively, incorporate extra water gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.
