Recipes: Chicken in a White Wine Sauce

Definitely a recipe that will go in my keeper box.  We had this for dinner tonight, and everyone cleared their plates, including Megan... which doesn't happen very often with my bird!





Chicken in White Wine Sauce:
3-4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine (I used a riesling)
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon italian herb seasoning
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Parmesan cheese, grated 

Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 45 mins

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, salt, and peppers, and italian seasoning. Moisten chicken and dredge in flour mixture, make sure it's thoroughly coated.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook a few minutes on each side, until browned. Add the broth and wine. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat.
• Place into a baking dish, and pour the sauce over the chicken.  Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes or until juices run clear.
• Switch over to Broil, remove foil, and allow to cook for 5 additional minutes.
• While the chicken is broiling, remove 2-3 basters full of the wine mixture and add to sauce pan.  Mix 1/4 cup of COLD water with 1 TB of corn starch, and add to wine mixture.  Cook on low until the sauce thickens.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with cheese, and drizzle sauce on top of the chicken breast once on the plate.

I served the chicken with a long grain wild rice, and also drizzled a bit of the thickened sauce on top.  It was delicious!
