If you're looking for a dinner for two recipe, take a look at this chicken with red wine sauce. It's a quick and easy dinner to throw together, and it looks impressive. Boneless chicken breasts are browned in a little butter to help create a crust and seal in the juices. Then onions and mushrooms are sauteed until brown. The chicken is nestled back in the pan and simmers in red wine. Once cooked, everything is tender and absorbs the flavor of the red wine. Make sure to serve with crusty bread to soak up the wonderful red wine sauce.
