Chicken And Mushroom Sauvignon Blanc Recipes

CHICKEN IN WHITE WINE SAUCE WITH MUSHROOMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oil on a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium/high heat.
• Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook on both sides until golden (about 6-8 minutes). They don't need to be cooked through at this point - they'll continue cooking in the sauce.
• Add the onion and mushrooms to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, until lightly softened.
• Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook for the 30 seconds.
• Add the wine and turn up the heat to high. Bring to the boil, then simmer until almost all of the liquid has evaporated (this will take about 5 minutes).
• Stir in the stock and cream and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
• Check the chicken is cooked by checking it's no longer pink in the middle, then turn off the heat and place the chicken breasts on 4 plates.
• Spoon over the sauce and serve with your choice of sides (I love green beans and sauté potatoes with this dish). Sprinkle over the fresh thyme and serve.

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed large pot, place the chicen, garlic, onions, mustard, tomato paste, herbs, wine and chicken broth.
• Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to moerate and simmer about 1 hour, or until chicken is very tender and the mixture is saucy.
• While the chicken is simmering prepare the bacon and mushrooms.
• In a large saute pan, cook the bacon until crisp.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels as needed.
• Discard all but 1 1/4 tbls of the bacon fat.
• Cook the mushrooms in the bacon fat over high heat until golden brown.
• Remove from the pan and add to the reserved bacon.
• When the chicken is tender, add the reserved bacon and mushrooms and cook 15 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper and garnish with the parsley.
• Hint: If I'm in a hurry I use boneless thighs, boil with ingredients in step 1 for 20 minutes.
• Remove the thighs, and reduce the mixture on High heat until saucy, about 10 minutes.
• Then complete with the bacon and mushrooms.
