- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

- Add the white wine or broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
