Life has suddenly gone from zero to hectic now that we are well into January and getting back into our regular routine at home. And that means that when it comes to dinner time I find myself reaching for my collection of quick recipes for speedy, delicious suppers. Like today’s easy chicken recipe which I am sure you will love!
This is a winning chicken dish that will have you licking your plate. It can be whipped up in a jiffy without skimping on flavour. The tender chicken fillets are drenched in a creamy mushroom and white wine sauce with fresh herbs. Serve it with whatever side dish takes your fancy!
CHICKEN IN WHITE WINE SAUCE
- 2 free range chicken breast fillets
- olive oil to drizzle
- salt and pepper
- 2 tsp butter
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- 150g button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup cream
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- fresh herbs to garnish
- rice, noodles or roasted veggies to serve
1.) Cut the chicken fillets in half lengthways. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the fillets for a few minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2.) Pop the butter and onion in the same frying pan and cook until the onion has softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for a further 3 minutes. Add the white wine, stir and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
3.) Pour in the cream and season well. Allow the cream to heat up, then simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme and parsley, then add the chicken fillets back into the pan. Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
4.) Garnish with fresh chopped herbs and serve with your favourite side dish like rice, noodles or roasted veggies.
