  2. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in white wine and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in lemon juice.
  3. Add rinsed rice to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Pour in chicken broth and return the chicken to the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
