Turn off the heat and here is what it should look like. There should be sauce covering the pieces. If not that means you kept the heat on and the chicken soaked it up. That's not a problem.

Place the chicken on a plate and cover it with some of that lemony wine sauce. You can add a lemon slice on top, if you want to get fancy schmancy. ;) enjoy

If you want more sauce or if it thickened too much for your liking, here is what you need to do. Take a pan, add a 1/2tsp of butter, add 1/4 cup of wine,let it reduce.When the sauce has reduced..

add 1/4c of broth & the juice of 1/2 a lemon or a whole lemon. To thicken the sauce make a rue like i showed U with a 1/2 tbs butter and 1/4 tsp of flour, add to the sauce.

Add this mixture to the chicken and heat. You have now made extra sauce. I'm just saying. :D
