Bring the stock to a simmer, then add the chicken back to the pan. Simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a plate. If the sauce hasn’t thickened yet, let it continue to cook until it does. Then once thickened, turn the heat off and then swirl in cold butter. Once the butter is incorporated into the sauce, add the chicken back into the pan to coat the chicken will, finish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
