One Pan Chicken Pasta With Chardonnay Wine Sauce Food

ONE PAN CHICKEN PASTA WITH CHARDONNAY WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a large, deep skillet. Cook the pasta until tender. Drain and set aside.
• While the pasta is cooking, place the tomatoes in a small oven-safe boil. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Broil on high for about 5 minutes or until slightly charred. Remove from the oven and set aside. ***see note regarding roasting the tomatoes***
• Prep the chicken. Pound with the flat side of a mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Once the pasta is done cooking and has been set aside, heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and the chicken. Cook the chicken for 8-12 minutes or until 165 degrees, flipping a few times while cooking. Once done cooking, remove from the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into chunks.
• Return the skillet to the stove and melt the 1/4 butter over medium low heat. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute for 2 minutes, scraping the bits from the chicken from the bottom of the pan. Add the Chardonnay, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly reduced. Stir in the half and half, parmesan cheese and chicken. Then carefully stir in the roasted tomatoes.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and more parmesan cheese, if desired.

ONE-POT CHICKEN BROCCOLI IN WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash chicken (no need to pat dry), and dip in breadcrumbs to coat both sides. Reserve leftover breadcrumbs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, stir to combine.
• Brown chicken over medium-high heat, about 4-5 minutes per side. Add leftover breadcrumbs, pepper, mushrooms if using, lemon juice or zest, wine, and most of the parsley (reserve a little to sprinkle on the finished dish).
• Reduce heat to low and add frozen broccoli florets.
• Cover and continue cooking another 10-12 minutes or until broccoli is done to your liking.
• Sprinkle finished dish with the reserved parsley, and serve with white wine sauce and fresh lemon wedges.
• Great with a side of rice pilaf or creamy mashed potatoes--for an extra yummy indulgence, drizzle my Easy Cheese Sauce over the broccoli. Enjoy!
