  • Nonstick spray coating
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds chicken (breasts, thighs, drumsticks), skinned

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 4 tsp. lemon juice
  • Low-fat, low sodium chicken broth
  • Salt

Preheat oven to 325 degree.

Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray coating. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and brown over medium heat for 10 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Place chicken in an 8x8x2- or 10x6x2-inch baking dish. Add unpeeled garlic cloves.
