Maureens Chicken With Wine Recipes

MAUREEN'S CHICKEN WITH WINE

Steps:

• You can marinate this if you like but it is not necessary.
• Put the ingredients in a roasting pan and mix. Then drop the chicken in the pan.
• Bake 1 ½ hours at 375 degrees. Baste the chicken at least once to get a great color on the skin. If you cook it for 2 hours the meat will fall off the bone.
• If you use boneless skinless chicken breasts only cook 45 - 50 minutes.
• I serve with green beans and rice.
• Enjoy!

• In batches, sear each chicken piece until browned on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side and then place them into a side plate. Make sure you don't overload the pan!

• After the wine has simmered for a minute or two, add broth and tomato paste. Stir well to combine and add the chicken pieces back into the pan. Bring it to a boil.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for an hour, stirring periodically. If it starts to dry out, add a little water (I didn't run into this issue). Serve immediately after the hour is up.
