step 1

Get out a large skillet with deep sides and heat the Olive Oil (1 dash) in it over medium high heat. Cook the Broccoli (1 head), Onion (1), Garlic (2 cloves), and Sage Leaves (6) in it for 3-4 minutes to let them start to soften.

When the chicken is cooked, add in the White Wine (1/3 cup) and let everything simmer in the wine for another 4-5 minutes. The wine should almost cook off completely with just a little left in the bottom. Remove everything from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Set it aside and start on the sauce.
