How To Make ali's chicken with red wine sauce

  • Step 1
    Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Step 2
    Add about 4 Tbsp of butter to a hot skillet. Brown both sides of the chicken breasts. Remove them and set aside on a plate. **NOTE** A variation of this recipe would be to shake the chicken pieces in flour first, then saute them.
  • Step 3
    Add the remaining 4 Tbsp of butter to the skillet. Cook garlic, onion, and mushrooms until everything is soft.
  • Step 4
    When mushrooms and onions are slightly brown, stir 1/2 cup of wine into the pan and bring to a boil.
  • Step 5
    Add chicken to the pan. Cover with mushrooms and onions. Add more wine to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil again. Then cover the pan, lower the heat, and simmer until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally.
  • Step 6
    Serve with crusty French bread and the same wine you used to cook chicken.
