Chicken in White Wine Mushroom Cream Sauce

This is another wonderful chicken recipe and the nice thing about this one is that you make it all in the same pan. If you like easy chicken recipes, this is a great one to go for. In addition, this recipe has to simmer for an hour at the end so if you are expecting guests, you can leave this recipe to cook by itself for the last part.

This creamy chicken and white wine recipe is nice served with peas and boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. For a little bit of added saltiness, you could add a few capers or thin pickle slices near the end of cooking. Alternatively, like many chicken recipes, this is wonderful just as it is.

Chicken in a Mushroom, Tarragon and White Wine Cream Sauce

Ingredients -

2 chicken breasts or thighs
½ pint dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons heavy cream
4 slices pancetta or smoked bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
6 shallots, peeled
Salt and pepper

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the pancetta or bacon until crispy. Remove to a plate.

Fry the mushrooms until soft and add to the pancetta.

Season the chicken and add to the oil. Fry all over until golden brown and remove.

Fry the whole shallots and garlic cloves until they start to brown.

Add the pancetta, mushrooms, and chicken. Add enough wine to cover the chicken and scatter the tarragon over it.

Turn down the heat to a bare simmer and cook, uncovered, for an hour, turning the chicken pieces after half an hour.

Divide the chicken and shallots between two warmed plates then whisk the cream into the reduced juices in the pan.

Spoon this sauce over the chicken.
