2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 1/4 cups white wine, divided
1 1/4 cups chicken broth, divided
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil

1
Combine chicken strips, 1/2 cup white wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and 1/2 cup lemon juice in a large resealable bag. Seal and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to marinate.
