Chicken In White Wine Sauce 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:

• Pat dry the chicken pieces, then salt and pepper both sides of each piece of chicken.
• To a cast iron pan (or a dutch oven), add the chopped bacon. Cook until over medium heat until the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan using a slotted spoon.
• Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the chicken to the pan, skin-side down first, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes over medium heat or until the chicken is nicely browned and crisp. Remove the chicken from the pan.
• Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan along with the diced onion. Sauté over medium-low heat for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent and softened. Add the garlic slices and sauté for another 30 seconds. Pour in a splash of white wine (about 1 heaping tablespoon) so that you can deglaze the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any bacon bits stuck to the pan.
• Add the chicken back into the pan, along with the sliced carrots, and about half a bottle of white wine. The wine should reach just up to the tops of the chicken pieces, but the chicken should not be fully submerged to the point that you can't see the top of the chicken. Place a lid on the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 35 minutes.
• Remove the lid from the pan and stir in the cream. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then give the mixture a stir. Raise the heat to medium-high and let the mixture simmer and bubble away for another 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken a couple of times as the sauce simmers for those 10 minutes. Taste test the sauce for salt, and add more if needed.
• Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with a side of crusty French bread.

Steps:

• Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Place in a gallon freezer bag (or in between saran wrap) and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat completely dry.
• Season each side with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge in the flour and tap off excess.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside and leave brown remnants in the pan.
• Turn the heat off and add the wine, then set heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom and sides of the skillet, this will add lots of flavor to the sauce.
• Let it bubble gently until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the butter and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and seasonings. Bring the sauce to a boil.
• If a thicker consistency is desired: Combine 2 tbsp. cornstarch with 2 tbsp. cold water until completely uniform in consistency. Slowly stir it into the bubbling sauce.
• Reduce heat to low and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
• Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce on top. Cover partially, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir the fresh lemon juice into the sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.
