You can serve this chicken in white wine with rice or noodles and some seasonal vegetables. If you enjoy making crockpot chicken recipes, you will be pleased to discover there are also plenty of slow cooker recipes, which combine chicken and creamy sauces, although with many of them you need to add the cream near the end, or at the end, of the cooking time, since cream does not slow cook well.
This chicken in white wine sauce recipe makes a beautiful filling for baked potatoes. You might like to serve it over toast or with bread. Alternatively, you could serve it over a bed of rice or with pasta. Why not try polenta or couscous, for a change, if you fancy something other than potatoes or rice as your side dish?
