  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

  • 1

    Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until lightly brown, then remove onions from pan and set aside.

  • 4

    Cover the skillet, reduce heat and cook the chicken until tender about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

  • 5

    Add wine to pan stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan. Bring to a boil and then boil 4 minutes to reduce the wine.

  • 6

    Stir in the cream and reduce sauce over medium heat – about 3 to 4 minutes.

  • 7

    Return Chicken and onions to the pan and simmer about 5 minutes.

Notes

  • !

    Butter is used to sauté onions and brown chicken. Wine is used to deglaze pan (wine dissolves flavor components that water cannot). Boiling off the alcohol mellows the flavor and reduces possibility of alcohol curdling the cream.
