Champagne Chicken

What's that quote? "I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food!" Well this recipe is a good example of just that... but using champagne instead!

And since my husband had been busting his tail outside in the yard all day, I decided to put this together for him as a special thank you. And, of course, an excuse to drink a glass of champagne!

Ingredients:

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cups champagne
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tsp ground rosemary

Directions:

  • Flatten chicken and dust with the flour, salt and pepper
  • In a large skillet, melt butter and olve oil together over medium heat
  • Add chicken and saute 5 minutes, turn over and add the champagne. Continue to cook for 12-15 minutes
  • Add the cream and rosemary and cook until thickened
  • Remove chicken and place on your serving plate. Pour sauce over chicken and enjoy!

This chicken just makes you feel rich and fabulous! It has a light flavor but it's still a thick and savory sauce. It's also perfect for dipping your breadsticks into! Paired with a ceasar salad and it's dinner fit for a king.
