My brother-in-law is from Naples, Italy and he and my sister owned a Italian restaurant that I worked at for a little while. This was my absolute favorite dish and I often serve it now 2-3 times a month. Sometimes I add artichoke hearts. When I add the artichoke hearts I use a can of quartered artichokes and drain off the brine and add at the end just long enough to heat through!

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, fileted thinly to create 2 to 3 breasts servings
1 cup very condensed chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine

parsley
