Chicken In Sparkling Wine Recipes

WINE BRAISED CHICKEN (DRUNKEN CHICKEN)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel and season well with salt and pepper on both sides.
• 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!
• Once all the chicken is browned and out of the pan, add the remaining Tablespoon of oil (only if needed) and then add sliced onion and smashed garlic.
• Season them with salt and pepper to taste and saute them stirring constantly for a minute or two.
• Next, add the wine to the pan and scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon to deglaze 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.

QUICK CHICKEN AND WINE

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. In a shallow plate, spread Parmesan cheese. Divide chicken into three parts and dip seasoned chicken in eggs, then coat well with Parmesan cheese. Repeat until all of the chicken pieces are well coated (if you run short on egg and Parmesan, add one more egg and more Parmesan as needed).
• In a skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium high heat. Cook chicken, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
• Reduce heat and add wine. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes

SPARKLING CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Press the chicken breasts into the flour mixture to coat well. Set the coated chicken breasts aside on waxed paper; do not stack.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the mushrooms with 1/4 cup of the wine until the mushroom juices have been absorbed and the mushrooms are beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Push the mushrooms to the edge of the skillet and place the coated chicken breasts into the center of the pan. Brown the chicken breasts on each side, about 5 minutes per side, and pour in the remaining 1 cup of wine. Cover the pan, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the pan, and arrange on a warmed serving platter. Pour the cream into the skillet, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the brown flavor bits on the bottom of the skillet have dissolved and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve.

CHICKEN WITH WINE & MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Toss the chicken in the flour, then tap off the excess. Mix 1 tsp of the excess flour with a little stock and set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then add the chicken, mushrooms and thyme. Cook over a medium-high heat for about 5 mins, turning the chicken breasts over once until golden.
• Lift the chicken out, then set aside. Pour in the wine and the remaining stock and boil for 5 mins or until reduced by half. Add the flour and stock mix, stirring until the sauce thickens a little. Put the chicken back into the pan, along with any juices from the plate, then simmer for 5 mins or until cooked through and the sauce is glossy. Serve with mash.
