For this recipe use chicken breast slices that are not too thin; dust them in flour. Melt the butter in a pan with one crushed clove of garlic, place the slices in the pan and brown them on both sides.
Deglaze with the white wine, let it evaporate completely and add a scant glass of water (about 2/3 cup). Turn the slices, season with salt and finish cooking with a good grating of lemon zest, some chopped parsley and a sprinkle of pink peppercorns or mixed pepper, and one or two tablespoons of lemon juice if you like.
Serve hot and creamy and enjoy.
