Skillet Chicken in White Wine Sauce

Friday, February 18, 2022
If you're in a hurry and need a great last-minute meal, this one-skillet easy Chicken in White Wine Sauce recipe will be your new go-to recipe!

Boneless chicken breasts with a mouth-watering creamy white wine sauce, it’s so off the charts delicious.

Yes, I know some may not like the cream sauce at all but I promise it's just a little and we even substituted a dairy-free version that was terrific for all those who are lactose intolerant.

After browning the chicken on the stovetop we savor those brown bits for the baby bella mushrooms to brown in the butter with garlic.

Then add a little white vino, chicken broth, and cream of your choice for a nice rich sauce that is absolutely perfect for any weeknight meal or even hosting a dinner party.

Easy Cream Sauce



This sauce is truly a delicious blend of seasonings, spice a with the addition of dijon mustard it takes it over the top.

We just love the creamy coating on the chicken, and of course, if you're not a mushroom lover try adding some canned artichoke hearts, that is another fabulous addition to this dish.

This chicken goes right back into the same pan and finishes cooking in the delectable wine sauce on the stovetop and we always use a cast-iron skillet.

Seriously this family recipe is so darn easy you're going to be one happy cook when you serve this meal.

Again you can add anything you like to this style sauce with the chicken for those picky eaters and we love it best served with Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
