ONE PAN CHICKEN PASTA WITH CHARDONNAY WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a large, deep skillet. Cook the pasta until tender. Drain and set aside.
• While the pasta is cooking, place the tomatoes in a small oven-safe boil. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Broil on high for about 5 minutes or until slightly charred. Remove from the oven and set aside. ***see note regarding roasting the tomatoes***
• Prep the chicken. Pound with the flat side of a mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Once the pasta is done cooking and has been set aside, heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and the chicken. Cook the chicken for 8-12 minutes or until 165 degrees, flipping a few times while cooking. Once done cooking, remove from the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into chunks.
• Return the skillet to the stove and melt the 1/4 butter over medium low heat. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute for 2 minutes, scraping the bits from the chicken from the bottom of the pan. Add the Chardonnay, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly reduced. Stir in the half and half, parmesan cheese and chicken. Then carefully stir in the roasted tomatoes.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and more parmesan cheese, if desired.

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.
