There's nothing more cool than cooking an easy dinner that makes you look like a gourmet chef; and nothing more romantic than doing it for your significant other (or significant other to be). This recipe is sure to ignite (or rekindle) that flame and allow for some much needed down time between you and yours. It's time to turn off that cell phone, put on some nice music, and cork the wine. Let's get cooking!
Serves about 4
Ingredients:
4-6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup flour for dusting
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup white cooking wine
1 cup Le Saucier Chicken Veloute (Available at Artisan's Palate)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Worcestershire Sauce to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Lightly season chicken breasts with salt and pepper then dust with flour.
Melt Butter in saute pan being careful not to brown. Add chicken and lightly brown both sides.
Add onions and saute for about 1 minute or until they are translucent.
Add white wine and rosemary. Allow to simmer until the liquid reduces to 1/2. Turn chicken breasts every minute.
Add 1 cup of Le Saucier Chicken Veloute and bring to a boil.
Remove chicken and cut into the thick end of the meat to confirm it's cooked thoroughly. (Be careful not to cook it beyond to the point of becoming well done, as the meat will become dry. The interior of the meat should register at 160 degrees.) Remove from sauce.
Add cream and bring to a simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
Add parsley and stir in sauce. Add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. Return the chicken to the sauce and simmer for about 30 seconds before placing it on a plate and covering it with sauce.
Notes:
It's that simple and even more delicious. While you're preparing this like a master chef ask your Sous Chef/significant other to prepare a simple salad or some rosemary roasted veggies and butter some bread for a team effort and some bonding time before the meal. If you want to surprise them, than have them sit this one out, and have them relax with some wine or a craft beer.
