Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
salt and pepper, to taste
directions
Cut the chicken into thin strips.
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Season as desired with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
Add the chicken stock and wine to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been reduced by half.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat in the liquid and cook until it is heated through. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve hot with rice or pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of meat?

Is it necessary to use dry white wine?
Dry white wine adds depth to the sauce, but you can substitute it with more chicken stock or a non-alcoholic wine.

How should I store leftovers?

Super easy and tastier than I expected (used good chicken stock and wine - crucial in a simple dish like this).
This was simple yet tasty, for a quick no fuss meal. I always use low sodium broth whenever a recipe calls for any kind of broth or stock. My 'cooking wine' is usually Chardonnay. Nice dish when served over pasta with an Italian salad. Also, pretty healthy. :-)
