Chicken with Creamy Wine Sauce
Tuesday, September 11, 2007
What to make for dinner? I had the following on hand:
chicken breasts, half bottle white wine, 1 cup heavy cream, some mushrooms that needed to be eaten tonight or thrown out, potatoes, lettuce and carrots.
I tossed the chicken into the frying pan and added 1/4 cup butter. Cooked that until the chicken was nearly done and then tossed in the shrooms and the remainder of the wine. In the meantime, I had chopped the potatoes into chunks and boiled them until soft and ready to mash.
Once the chicken was cooked through and the wine had reduced and thickened a bit, I dumped in the cream and stirred to mix, then simmered for 4 minutes. While this was simmering, I mashed the potatoes with the other 1/4 cup butter and a bit of milk and then dumped in a good amount of grated parmesan cheese. ::cue drooling::
Each plate received a nice mound of potatoes and was then topped with some chicken, mushrooms, and that incredibly delicious creamy wine sauce. I finished this off with a good amount of grated parmesan and served with side salads.
Super easy to make (entire meal took 20 minutes from start to finish) and fantastic tasting. If you were to create something like this for your next dinner party, no one would believe it is such a quick and easy meal to prepare. I guarantee this!
And of course, it's gluten-free, but no one would ever guess that. It's just nirvana on a plate. Anytime you simmer meat in wine and toss in some heavy cream you're bound to get something decadent and sensual. Yum.
I wonder if there are any leftovers....
