In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the white wine (or chicken broth) to the pan, scraping up any bits of chicken stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Finish the sauce:
Stir in the butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Let it simmer for 2-3 more minutes to blend the flavors.
Add the cheese:
Stir in the grated pecorino Romano cheese and fresh parsley. The cheese will melt into the sauce, creating a rich and creamy texture.
Return the chicken:
Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Let the chicken soak in the zesty sauce for a couple of minutes.
Serve:
Serve the chicken hot, with extra sauce spooned over the top. You can pair this dish with pasta, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
