CHICKEN AND WINE SAUCE
Chicken with a mix of Asian and Italian seasoning. Serve over rice with garlic bread. I usually put extra Italian dressing and soy in. Also, use a full body red wine; the thinner the wine the thinner the sauce.

CHICKEN IN GARLIC WHITE WINE CREAM SAUCE
I have had chicken in white wine cream sauce at a local restaurant and found it was probably my favorite chicken dish. I have searched in vain for a recipe that would include all the ingredients I now only vaguely remember. So, in desperation, I found a basic recipe and have adapted it. I have made this a few times and found it very close to what I remember. The only missing ingredient is cheese. I have yet to remember what cheese was used (other than it was a white cheese). Eventually I will experiment with adding cheese, but for now I am really pleased with this version. I hope you like it too.

TUSCAN CHICKEN IN LEMON-WINE SAUCE (SCALOPPINE AL LIMONE)
My husband and I learned to make this lemony chicken entree on a cooking vacation in Italy. The recipe is very quick and easy, yet bursting with flavor and tenderness. The sauce is made by whisking a beaten egg into the reduced liquids. We love it served over a side of pasta to soak up all the lemon-wine sauce.

Steps:
- Flatten each chicken breast by pounding gently with a flat meat mallet (Hint - pound chicken inside a Ziploc bag - no mess!). Sprinkle flattened breasts with salt and pepper. Then dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess.
- Heat butter and oil over HIGH heat; just before butter starts to brown, add the chicken pieces and saute quickly to brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and brown other side (3 more minutes). It doesn't need to be totally cooked through because it will cook more in the sauce later.
- Remove chicken to platter but leave all browned bits in the skillet.
- Add wine to browned bits in skillet and boil to reduce wine by almost half (about 3 minutes). Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and lemon juice. Stir egg/lemon mixture into simmering wine and broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth and a little thickened (about 2 minutes). It will thicken more when you put in the chicken breasts which have a flour coating.
- Add chicken and any juices back into the sauce; allow to simmer about 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through, turning chicken once. Add chopped parsley.
- Place chicken on platter and pour sauce over top; garnish with lemon slices and additional parsley sprigs.
- HINT: Please use FRESH lemons and parsley; it has a big impact on the flavor of the dish, and besides, no aspiring Italian chef would consider using otherwise!

MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS AND APPLES IN WHITE WINE AND CREAM SAUCE
This main dish is fast enough for a weeknight, but "fancy" enough for guests! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are quickly browned, then simmered with apples and onions in a flavorful liquid. Simply remove the apples and onions at the end, let the liquid reduce, add a little cream, and voila, there is a beautiful sauce! We enjoyed this recipe with white rice, steamed broccoli, and a crusty baguette.

CASSEROLE-POACHED CHICKEN W/ WHITE WINE TARRAGON SAUCE (JULIA CH
From Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Very moist chicken with a rich cream sauce. The sauce is so rich that I would follow Julia's recommendation of very simple sides that don't compete with the flavors at all... buttered peas and baked or mashed potatoes work well. This recipe looks very long, but is actually quite easy... just prep the bird and throw in the oven. The sauce comes together quickly at the end.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325, then cook the onions and carrots on the stovetop (in a casserole just large enough to hold the whole chicken) in 2 T butter until vegetables are tender but not brown.
- Rub the outside of the bird with 1.5T of the butter and place the other 1.5 T inside the bird. Sprinkle the outside with half of the salt and tarragon and the inside with the other half. Truss and arrange the chicken breast-side-up on top of the sauteed vegetables in the casserole.
- Pour the wine into the casserole and add enough of the chicken broth to reach about 1/3 of the way up the chicken. Add the herbs and giblets. Bring to a simmer on top of the stove. Drape the damp cheesecloth over the breast and thighs. It should be long enough to fall into the liquid on either side so that is will draw the broth over the chicken and basted it during the cooking. Smear remaining butter over cheesecloth and top with a layer of waxed paper. Cover casserole and set in the preheated oven.
- Bake chicken for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Watch to make sure that the liquid remains at a very soft simmer and adjust temperature accordingly if needed. When chicken is done (juices should run clear), remove chicken to a platter and strain the cooking juices. Return one cup of the stock to the casserole with the chicken. Cover to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
- For sauce: Melt butter in saucepan, blend in flour with a wooden spoon and stir over moderate heat until butter and flour foam together for 2 minutes without browning. Remove from heat and as soon as it stops bubbling, add 2 cups of the hot chicken stock,, blending vigorously with a wire whisk.when smooth, set over moderate heat and stir slowly as sauce thickens and comes to a boil. Boil, stirring for 2 minutes. Sauce will be quite thick.
- Pour in 1/3 cup of the cream and add successive spoonfuls until sauce thins out but is still thick enough to lightly coat a spoon. Check seasoning and add salt, white pepper and lemon juice to taste. Just before serving beat in the remaining 2 T butter.
- Carve the chicken and top with the sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat; add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil, then add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, skin-side up; reserve the skillet.
- Toss the mushrooms with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper; scatter around the chicken on the baking sheet. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, whisking. Add the wine, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon some of the red wine sauce onto each plate; top with the chicken and mushrooms.
Tips for Making Wine Sauce Chicken:
- Choose the right wine: Use a dry white wine for a light and delicate sauce, or a red wine for a richer, more flavorful sauce.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and chicken.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very tender and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, or they will become dry and tough.
- Reduce the wine: Reducing the wine will concentrate its flavors and make the sauce more flavorful. Simmer the wine until it has reduced by about half.
- Add cream or butter: Cream or butter can be added to the sauce to make it richer and more creamy. However, this is optional and can be omitted if you prefer a lighter sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste: Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You may also want to add a bit of lemon juice or white wine vinegar to brighten the flavors.
Conclusion:
Wine sauce chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give wine sauce chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
