Directions

1

Coat skillet with vegetable cooking spray; heat over medium temperature. Add chicken and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook 20 minutes, turning or until brown on all sides. Reduce temperature to low, add garlic halves; continue cooking until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease, 10 minutes more.

Remove chicken to warm plate, leaving garlic in pan. Add chicken broth and wine. Over high heat, bring to a boil; continue boiling 5 minutes; reduce temperature to low. Stir arrowroot into skim milk and slowly add mixture to pan liquids. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 minutes.

3

Return chicken to pan; sprinkle with chives, spooning sauce over chicken. Simmer 5 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly heated.
