Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup butter
4 1/2 breast, bone ins bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
1 ½ cups chicken stock, or as needed
1 cup dry white wine
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, and cook until nicely browned on both sides. Pour in chicken stock and white wine, using enough chicken stock so that the chicken pieces are covered halfway to two thirds by liquid. Add whole garlic cloves. Reduce heat to medium-low, sprinkle flour over the top of the contents of the pan and cover with a lid. Simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  • When chicken is cooked through, remove to a dish, and keep warm. Boil the liquid in the skillet until it is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Whisk cream into the reduced liquid, breaking up the garlic cloves as much as you can. Return chicken to the pan, and heat through.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: For the best flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. If you prefer boneless, skinless chicken, be sure to brown it well before adding it to the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, be sure to work in batches if necessary so that the chicken has enough room to brown properly.
  • Use a good quality white wine: A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will add a bright acidity to the sauce.
  • Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

This Portuguese Chicken with Tomato Wine Sauce is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
