For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter. Cook the butter a few minutes longer until it turns a nutty brown before adding the olive oil. A squeeze of lemon at the end really brightens the dish. Don't overcook the chicken; it should be tender and juicy. If you don't have Pinot Grigio, a dry Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay will also work well. Add some sautéed vegetables, such as spinach or bell peppers, for a heartier meal.
